Youth part of convention's first night activities

"We need more young people like you," a California delegate said to me while I slurped a lemonade outside the convention hall.
I set the record straight: I'm not here for Democratic Party business. I'm a journalist here to learn about the relationship between the news media and politics.

Message to other 23 year olds who might be walking around the Pepsi Center this week: you are carrying a lot of weight. Whether or not the "youth vote" exists, people are paying attention to the presence of youth in this convention.
During tonight's podium presentation, North Dakota delegate Amanda Kubik took the stage with several other young delegates. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) was introduced by her children.
If you're in Denver tomorrow, stop by the Youth Caucus from 10 a.m. to noon in the Wells Fargo Theater at the Colorado Convention Center. The caucus is open to the public, but get there early because seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
