When are the conventions?

The Conventions are a chance for all the delegates to vote for the candidate that they would like to run for President.

The Democrats have a difficult decision choosing between two very determined candidates, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. The Democratic convention is on August 25-28, 2008 in Denver. For more information on the festivities, see http://www.demconvention.com/

The Republicans have less fireworks, as John McCain? has clearly shown to be the favorite. The convention is September 1-4, 2008 in Minneapolis-St?. Paul, Minnesota. For more information, see http://www.gopconvention.com/

For information on the primaries, http://www.votesmart.org/election_president.php gives information on when each primary is and where the action will or already has taken place before the conventions.
