The Recreate 68 organizers hoped for 25,000 to march in the Denver streets, but the numbers were closer to 1,500 with maybe almost as many watchful police, some in riot gear. In terms of mood and temperment it was more like one of the many Out of Iraq protests in San Francisco, Loud but fairly mannerly. My favorite street chant remains “This Is What Democracy Looks Like.”

Listen for Susan’s daily reports from out on the streets at the Denver Democratic Convention during NPR coverage at 5:30pm and 6:30pm on KRCB-FM, 91.1 FM
