Simon Rosenberg and the NDN Team took some time out last week from packing their bags, perfecting their Twitter strategies  and finishing up last-minutes additions to our jam-packed Denver schedule to talk to the press. We weighed in on topics ranging from what we can expect the differences to be between Denver and St. Paul to U.S. Barack Obama's selection of fellow U.S. Sen. Joe Biden as his Veep choice to Chairman Dean's 50-state strategy.

Check out what Simon and NDN have to say below, last week, and now, here in Denver:

Reuter's John Whitesides checked in with Simon about showtime, aka the national party conventions.

The Financial Times' Ed Luce and Stephanie Kirchgaessner pondered the likley differences between the conventions in Denver and St. Paul.

The San Francisco Chronicle's Matt Stannard talked to Simon about the Obama campaign's smart call on the 3 a.m. text.

Following the text received around the world, Simon told Reuter's Whitesides that Biden is a "fighter."

Newsweek's Howard Fineman weighed in on the conventions -- "...the Olympics of political messaging."

The Hill's Alex Bolton took a look at the immigration issue and how it might play out this November in the battleground states.

Congressional Quarterly's Marie Horrigan focused on Chairman Dean's 50-state strategy and wonders if it will pay off.

Here in Denver, we've seen reporter or two:

Salon.com quoted Simon today following our kick-off public event, Immigration and the Next Administration. 

The DNC also live blogged the forum, moderated by NDN Vice President for Hispanic Programs, Andres Ramirez.

Stay tuned...
