As people started to enter INVESCO Stadium at Mile High we wanted to give you a quick look at the view from the floor:
This afternoon, the winner of the DNCC's YouTube contest, Rich Peters, had his video played on the big screen at INVESCO Field at Mile High. Take a look at Rich's video:
3:46 p.m. -- The gates are open and people are starting to stream into INVESCO Field at Mile High:

Senator Barack Obama and his family took the stage along with Senator Joe Biden and his wife Jill after accepting the Democratic nomination:
Watch as John Legend and will.i.am perform at the 2008 Democratic National Convention:
Take a look at photos from the second day of the Convention:
Reflecting back on the long primary season, the audience rallied tonight behind Senator Hillary Clinton. Giving a voice to those Americans who remain invisible to our current administration, Senator Clinton expressed her dedication to improving the lives of everyday people. While the crowd cheered loudly, Senator Clinton recounted people she met during her campaign -- people who struggle to get by in George Bush’s America.
Tonight, speaking on the 88th anniversary of women’s right to vote, Hillary proudly remembered the women who made her historic campaign possible. Also thanking her current “sisterhood of the traveling pant suits” for their support throughout her campaign, Hillary stressed her commitment to the Democratic Party and our soon to be nominee, Barack Obama.
And what did Hillary have to say about McCain? Simple: “no way, no how, no McCain.”

Over the last few years, Barack Obama has joined with Americans in every state in this country in a positive campaign for change. The stories of the people he has met throughout this long campaign have inspired Barack Obama and helped to shape the policies he will promote as President. The speakers selected to be part of Monday's program came from across the nation, but they were all brought together through their personal stories, which address real life challenges. Monday night's program included:
Margie Perez (Watch the video)
Margie Perez, 43, has been a singer and songwriter for more than 15 years. Originally from Washington, DC, Margie moved to New Orleans in 2004 to pursue her music career. After her home was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina, Margie moved into a Habitat for Humanity home in the Musician's Village of New Orleans. Before his presidential campaign had begun, she met Senator Obama there as he toured the Village. She recalls how compassionate he was as he listened to survivors' stories and shared his thoughts about how best to move forward with relief and rebuilding efforts. Margie knows Senator Obama grasped the harrowing situation she and the other survivors had been through, and is convinced that Barack Obama will be a president that helps all Americans.
Mike and Cheryl Fischer (Watch the video)
Mike Fisher is an Amtrak technician and a member of the International Association of Machinists (IAM). His wife Cheryl is a technician at St. Francis Hospital in Beech Grove, IN. After years of working hard to provide for their three children, the Fishers are facing the possibility of Mike being laid off from his job. In April, the Fishers hosted Barack and Michelle Obama in their home for lunch. Mike was particularly touched when Senator Obama told him he wanted to talk to him about his family's problems and concerns, not the presidential campaign. Mike believes an Obama presidency would advocate for hard-working Americans through promoting enhanced job security and strong family values. Mike and Cheryl have been married for 31 years and are the proud parents of three children -- Heather, 26, who is pursuing her Master's degree; Nick, 23, who works in security systems; and Abby Maddox, 19, who is expecting a child in October with her husband, soldier Nick Maddox.
Candi Schmieder (Watch this video)
Candi Schmieder, 39 years old, was born and raised in Southeast Iowa. She now resides in Marengo, Iowa, where she works part-time in the auto glass industry and serves on the Marengo City Council. Candi's long-held belief that politicians made politics more confusing and less helpful to average people was forever changed after she heard about Senator Barack Obama. The common sense ideas that Barack Obama put forward in The Audacity of Hope were very clear to Candi. He explained that bringing all kinds of people together to make real changes and improve lives without political games and bureaucracy was what really mattered. Candi was so inspired by Barack Obama's story that she signed up to be a precinct captain in Marengo during the Iowa primaries, a process that was completely new to her. For Candi, Barack Obama exemplified the belief that her voice mattered and that she could make things happen if she wanted. Her experience meeting and working for Barack Obama inspired her to go back to school to finish her bachelor's degree and pursue a newfound interest she now cares deeply about -- public service. Candi is married to Doug, and the two are the proud parents of daughter Riley, 11, and sons Jacob, 10, and Mitchell, 8.
