They discussed details and concerns about Denver’s bid to host the 2008 convention. The conversation left the Denver contingent feeling "enthusiastic, hopeful and confident."

The Democratic National Committee has raised concerns about Denver’s funding, security plans and lodging for the convention. A decision by Dean is expected soon, possibly early next week.
