Party platforms are like contracts: No one bothers to read them until something bad happens.

We all know that parties to any agreement should study the fine print in advance, and surely that applies to the national political parties. The delegates really ought to spend some of their time in the host city studying the document they are voting to adopt.

But hey, it's a convention. It's a party. Who wants to sit in their hotel room and read?

The Democratic National Convention is underway this week in Charlotte, North Carolina. Several members of Colorado’s Congressional Delegation are attending – including Colorado Senator Mark Udall.

This year’s Democratic National Convention is more than 1,500 miles away from Denver, but Colorado’s imprint is clearly visible during the gathering in North Carolina.
