Celeb DNC Travel: Sheryl Feels Inspired

August 26, 2008 at 12:45 PM | 0 Comments

Long before Barack Obama was a senator, Sheryl Crow sang "A Change Will Do You Good." But the singer insists she's not just jumping on the Democratic hype train--the presidential candidate has reached directly into her soul.

"We are finally inspired by the words that he's saying," Crow told the crowd when she performed Sunday night at the Red Rocks Ampitheatre.

Dave Matthews and the alt-country act Sugarland also performed at the kickoff concert along with John Legend, who debuted a new campaign song called "If You're Out There."

Hey, anyone know where John McCain is? The presumptive Republican nominee's website is plugging next week's pre-convention rallies in Dayton, Ohio and Washington, Pennsylvania, billed as "Road to the Convention." Of course, driving from Ohio to Pennsylvania isn't really on the road to Minneapolis, but the Straight Talk Express doesn't always have to travel in a straight line.

2008 Candidates Travel: Biking at the Convos

August 11, 2008 at 3:00 PM | 0 Comments

John McCain and Barack Obama may be sparring over the best ways for America to burn even more fossil fuels, but come convention time--August 25-28 for Dems and September 1-4 for the GOP--bike sharing will be the way to go thanks to the Freewheelin program.

Sponsored by the healthcare company Humana and the non-profit group Bikes Belong, Freewheelin is a free cycle sharing scheme that will both provide transportation during the events and introduce policy makers and journalists to the idea of public bikes. Each city will have about eight locations for 1,000 bikes, and they'll be available from roughly 7 am to 7 pm. (Just a couple weeks out, the exact details are still a little sketchy.)

You'll need to register for the program before you get to town; you can do that here.
