Meanwhile, DNC names official hotel

Politics West:

The DNCC has announced that the Hyatt Regency Denver at the Colorado Convention Center will be the official Headquarters [sic] hotel or "nerve center," outside of the Pepsi Center, for the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Aug. 25-28.

That'll make it easy for Spagnoodles & Friends--a nice five-minute walk (aka "The Gauntlet") from the hotel to the Pepsi Center (and back!) for shell-shocked delegates. Maybe the first day protesters could just welcome them to town, ease them into it a little.
