The summer of 2008's Republican and Democratic Conventions offer an opportunity for Current TV to launch a new brand of political coverage aimed at the 18-30 year old demographic. Political gadflies in lock step with Party foot soldiers will swarm Denver and Minneapolis looking for a refuge to pull together shaky party unities. But will the distractions prove too tempting to conventioneers immersed in the political super bowls of their lives? And will the host cities be as welcoming as each local Party officials hope?
Host, Trace Crutchfield will alternate interviewing politicos and local "insurgents" (extremists who plan to cause disruptions) with a detailed City Guide that explores the fringes of each town --beautiful fashionistas, marginalized characters and locals only joints-- the kinds of people and places Current's audience won't find in a conventional or online guide.
Show 1, "UnConventionally Yours, Denver" will delve into the mile high city. Will the wild westerners of Denver prove too tough for out of town Democrats gassed on sparkling wine and arugula? Can the Democrats resuscitate the Clinton squeaky wheel political machine in time to carry Senator Obama to the White House? Does Tom Tancredo ride the city bus?

No Trace, you do not need a fashion makeover. Personally, I'm voting for blue blazers and and increased use of the word Coronation this year. Thanks for this Trace, very entertaining.

I so do NOT fit the demographic age group for this spot (double +) and totally enjoyed it. I don't get out much (too noisy) but love knowing and seeing what's going on outside of my immediate circle of influence. thanks, Trace.

I don't mean to nitpick too much, but the RNC is in St. Paul. Lots of reporters are making this mistake and Katie Couric even issued a formal apology for doing so. However, there's still controversy over the high fees St. Paul is charging to bars to stay open late, so Trace will probably end up partying in Minneapolis and therefore spend a lot of time there. Since the video above already included footage of Minneapolis bars (in my own neighborhood, too!), this seems very likely.

Being a resident, this was a good take on Colorado.
I think there is far more too Denver than was represented.
Most of what was shown could be found in the Westword newspaper...
Hunter didn't live anywhere near Denver. He lived in Aspen.. (3hr drive from Denver)
It was a good representation of the weirdos that make up our state.
That's why I love it here...
Ride on!

Was watching the program on Uigers and this came on afterwards and I don't know...I got hooked. Pretty great take on the convention. Hadn't given it much thought until now. Trace does need a fashion makeover (I think he asked us to vote on that). Where can I get a Freedom Cage?

That was hilarious. The greatest thing about the greatest country on earth is the width and depth of our lunacy. The host seems like he's been to the edge a couple times himself!
I also appreciated to tips on bars and greasy spoons!
