Dean, Sebelius Discuss Obama's Acceptance Speech at Invesco Field

"WHO: Democratic National Committee Chairman Governor Howard Dean and Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius
WHAT: Press conference call to discuss the decision to move Senator Barack Obama's acceptance speech the DNC Convention to Invesco Field
WHEN: Monday, July 7 at 12:30 p.m. EDT

SUMMARY
Democratic National Committee Chairman Governor Howard Dean and Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius discuss the decision to move Senator Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in August to Invesco Field from the Pepsi Center. Inveso Field, the home of the Denver Broncos is an outdoor stadium and can hold more than 75,000 people as opposed to the Pepsi Center which can hold around 20,000 people. "This convention is meant to be opened up to the American people. Sen. Obama does not look at this as his convention - he looks at this as America's convention," Dean said. Obama's speech will be open the public. The rest of the convention will be held at the Pepsi Center."

Typical of the media, the first question was saying that Dean's response to the NYT article was "rather acidic."

Dean's response was great...sounds like the NYT did a lot of gossiping.

One interesting part...Dean and Sebelius differ on whether Republicans will be invited to the convention. Sebelius implies they will. Dean chuckles and defers to Sebelius.

Interesting phone conference. About 15 minutes.
