In the past when the Republican party held the White House, the Democrats held their convention in July, and vice versa.

Rules On February 2, 2007, the Democratic Party published 'Call for the 2008 Democratic National Convention'[4], the rules governing the convention. There will be 3,253 pledged delegates, those committed to vote for a particular candidate, selected by primary voters and caucus participants. There will be about 795 unpledged delegates, those free to vote for any candidate, colloquially known as superdelegates, for a total of about 4,048 delegates, requiring 2,024.5 votes to constitute a majority of the convention. (This figure includes zero pledged delegates for Michigan and Florida, which would have 313 pledged delegates and about 54 unpledged delegates, so if pledged delegates from those states are seated before the first ballot, the total number of delegates to achieve a majority will be greater than 2,025. The 54 superdelegates from Florida and Michigan have been counted in the 4048 total.[5]) The superdelegates consist of DNC members, Democratic Congress members and Governors, and other prominent Democrats.[6] The final number of superdelegates will not be known until the convention.

The pledged delegates are allocated among the states according to two main criteria: 1) proportion of votes each state gave the candidate in the last three Presidential elections; and 2) percentage of votes each state has in the Electoral College. Fixed numbers of delegates are allocated for Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Democrats Abroad. Under the party's Delegate Selection Rules for the 2008 Democratic National Convention[8], delegates are awarded via proportional representation with a minimum threshold of 15% of votes in a state or congressional district to receive delegates. The delegate population must reflect the state's ethnic distribution; and at least 50% of the delegates must be women. This article is about Electoral Colleges in general. ...

Only three cities submitted proposals to host the convention: Denver, Minneapolis/St. Paul and New York. On July 12, New Orleans dropped out. The cities were visited by a 10-member Technical Advisory Committee in June 2006. On September 27, the Republicans announced they would have their 2008 convention in St. Paul, removing St. Paul from consideration; leaving Denver and New York as potential hosts. Despite hard lobbying by New York party boosters, then-Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg dealt the campaign a major blow when he announced the city lacked the financial means to support a convention. [11] Denver was chosen as the host on January 11, 2007, as Democrats looked to make gains in the "Purple West" states of Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico. is the 270th day of the year (271st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Preparations The work to prepare Pepsi Center for the Democratic National Convention is expected to cost $15 million. In addition, a 220,000 sq. ft. temporary building to be used by the media will be built adjacent to Pepsi Center. [12] Convention organizers expect 35,000 attendees, out of which 5,000 will be delegates, and 15,000 media personnel.[13]
Labor issues The head of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local No. 7, Jim Taylor, refused to sign a no-strike agreement for the convention. Pepsi Center normally uses non-union labor, but will use Taylor's union during the convention, and Taylor wants Pepsi Center to use his union for all events.[14] The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes, or I.A.T.S.E., (Full name: International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada) is a labor union. ...
Lawsuit by Protesters The American Civil Liberties Union, on behalf of itself, several anti-war and other organizations, has filed a lawsuit requesting that the Secret Service and Denver officials release information regarding security arrangements at the convention.[1] The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is an American organization consisting of two separate entities: the ACLU Foundation, a non-profit organization that focuses on litigation and communication efforts, and the American Civil Liberties Union which focuses on legislative lobbying and does not have non-profit status. ...
Brokered convention Because of the close delegate count between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, the possibility has arisen that this may be the first brokered convention in more than half a century, something DNC chairman Howard Dean is seeking to avoid.[15] The hypothetical situation of a brokered convention and a dispute over seating the delegates from two states has led some to compare it with the 1968 Democratic National Convention, which ended in a divided party and unhappiness over the outcome.[16] Another possibility is that the race could be decided by the first vote at the convention, as was the 1976 Republican convention. Barack Obama, the junior United States Senator from Illinois, announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States in Springfield, Illinois, on February 10, 2007. ...

The 1976 Republican National Convention was held in Kansas City, Missouri at Kemper Arena from August 16 to August 19. ...
Delegates from Florida and Michigan The Florida and Michigan legislatures pushed forward their primaries to January[17] in contravention of party rules and were stripped of their delegates.[18] The Clinton campaign initially opposed their seating but after winning the Michigan primary, Senator Clinton spoke in favour of seating the states' delegates.[citation needed] DNC Chairman Howard Dean asked Florida and Michigan to submit a new plan for a process to choose the delegates, such as holding primaries again, or let the matter be referred to the Credentials Committee.[19]
Convention Credentials Committee The DNC Credentials Committee is charged with deciding which delegates should be seated at the Convention. With 186 members, the committee includes 161 members distributed based on how candidates do in the primary; assuming those members are relatively evenly split, the fate of the decision whether to seat Florida and Michigan could come down to the 25 members hand-picked by Chairman Dean. [20]
