Senator Edwards’ speaking event March 1st in Denver was enjoyed by an energetic and enthusiastic crowd. My estimate is that there were 500 plus people attending, mostly students. The event took place on the Auraria campus, which is the location for three branches of Colorado higher education: University of Colorado in Denver, Metropolitan State College and Community College of Denver.

Fortunately, the event did not take place the day before, when Denver had yet another snow storm. The streets were in pretty good shape by Thursday afternoon, the day of the speach.

In Part I, Sen. Edwards talked about the need in the world and the US for transformational change. He said American is not just a place, it is an idea about “equality of opportunity."
