Denver, CO, August 28, 2008 – During the Democratic National Convention, celebrities like Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lopez and Sean Penn made appearances at various events around Denver.  But on the historic closing night, when Senator Barack Obama accepted the party’s presidential nomination, we found Hollywood stars everywhere amidst the crowd of 80,000 packing Invesco Field. 

Jessica Alba and Fergie waved American flags from their seats.  Matthew Modine had been there for several days.  Actors Wilmer Valerrama and Rosario Dawson were in town to participate in a Voto Latino event.  On the stage, Stevie Wonder, Sheryl Crow, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson and Will.I.Am sang for their candidate of choice. 

We almost forgot there were also political folks there, like Al Gore and Obama’s running mate Joe Biden.
