Welcome to Google's press center for the 2008 National Political Conventions
At the Democratic Convention in Denver (August 25-28) and the Republican Convention in Minneapolis/St. Paul (September 1-4), Google will be using our
products and technologies to connect voters around the
country with the latest convention news and activities. The list to the right provides links to those products.
Google will also have a physical presence at each convention. In Denver, find us at the Big Tent, where you will have a chance to gather with print, broadcast and online media and file stories, see presentations about politics and the Internet and maybe bump into a free smoothie or two.
In Minneapolis/St. Paul, you'll find us- and assorted refreshments - next to media row in the Minneapolis Convention Center during major events for media and delegates.
YouTube Video Contest
Through unprecedented partnerships with both the Democratic and Republican National
Conventions, our video contest that will send one talented winner
from each side of the aisle onto their candidate's campaign trail, and ultimately
into their party's national convention in Denver
or Minneapolis-St. Paul. Voters have submitted videos explaining why they're Democrats or Republicans in 2008.
Check out YouTube's
Convention Headquarters to see video submissions and cast your vote.
