They loved her in Denver....

Denver seemed to like Hillary well enough....This was forwarded to me by someone who attempted to go to the rally but gave up because the lines were too too long to get in....

The Hillary Clinton with the high negative ratings, the polarizing former First Lady who even some Democrats worry might drag down the rest of the ticket if nominated for president, didn't show up in Denver today. Instead, a comfortable, smiling, crowd-inspiring Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived 15 minutes early on the outdoor stage at Metropolitan State College.

Granted, she had to reference her note card before she could thank Big Head Todd and the Monsters — one of Colorado's most famous rock bands ever — for warming up the crowd and debuting a new song, "Blue Skies," in her honor.

But she delivered the rest of her 25-minute speech without notes, with feeling, and to constant, resounding applause.

"Now let me ask you, are you ready for change?" she began.

Was the crowd ready for affordable health care and college? For renewable energy policy? For the war in Iraq to end?

Just one minute into her speech, the thousands of undergraduates standing on the grass in front of Clinton seemed more excited by her message than they were by the band.
