Colorado delegate Nate Vanderschaaf sang along as Bruce Springsteen’s “The Rising” began to play after Sen. Joe Biden accepted the vice presidential nomination at the Pepsi Center Wednesday night.
Vanderschaaf was singing the same song that blared Aug. 23 in Illinois when Sen. Barack Obama introduced his running mate.

Walking down Brighton Boulevard Wednesday afternoon during the Iraq Veterans Against the War march was Brian Vicente, the attorney overseeing the defense of protesters arrested during the Democratic National Convention.
He was one of about 10 lawyers sporting brightly colored hats saying “National Lawyers Guild Observer.” Vicente said he felt the week had gone fairly smoothly overall for police and protesters.
