Organizers for the Democratic National Convention say they now expect some 50,000 people to come to Denver for the event this August.

That number is more than 40% higher than the original estimates.

A spokeswoman for the Democratic Nationals Convention Committee says overwhelming interest in the potentially historic event has driven up the expected participation.

City officials say they are relying on convention organizers for the estimated number of participants, but they hope the increase will mean a larger economic boon for Denver and Colorado than they first anticipated. Estimates for the region's financial gain exceed $150 million.

Katherine Archuleta, the mayor's convention liaison, says the increased estimates are not expected to affect planning or security preparations for the convention.

50,000 Democrat activists in one city? That will bring new meaning to the term RocKy Mountain High.

I’m buying Popcorn futures. The Rats just added 15,000 to the riot. Couldn’t be happier

“50,000 Democrat activists in one city?”

It will be up to 100,000 by August!

Something makes me think of “Street Fighting Man”, Rolling Stones.

[MtnClimber]

The leftist Re-Create 68 group will probably be out in force. They have already been hinting at violence.

The Clinton Crime Family vs. The Obama/Wright/Farrakhan cult.
This should be interesting!

Before repair costs are factored in, I'm sure. Burn, baby, burn.

This convention will be the biggest assembly of hate America people in a long, long time. The Dems have let the genie out of the bottle. They've been spewing unbridled hate in the press and on camera for several years. So, the witless boobs they attract think that it's perfectly acceptable and gains them some notoriety. Well, we'll see.
Their attitude and behavior is NOT what America was built on

Were I living in Denver in the first place - I'd be getting outta town come August in the second place.

Those 'Quiet Riots" Obamamama alluded to ain't likely to be too quiet.

PLEASE, America, WAKE UP.

These people can't even run a primary campaign within their own ranks.

You want them running the country?

If they really want to pump up the crowd, they need to have a democrat funeral. They have tons of fun at those delightful gatherings.

Hey Peloooosi, you flying in??

[DGHoodini]

Been listening to Rush? He pointed out that the theme music for the ‘68 street beasts, *was*` SFM. ;)

Among the crowd that has made up their mind, I expect the split will be about 50-50. But there will be a lot of undecideds.

(I’m talking about gender.)

Flash crowd developing

[Rebelbase]

Does this include the 10,000 from Operation Chaos that will be there to make sure Hillary wins?

[Cobra64]

It will be up to 100,000 by August!

Million Moron March.

[Cobra64]

Actually, I hope it happens. Maybe fly-over country will wake up to the liberal fanatics.
