The Democratic Convention officially kicks off in Denver, Colorado today. We've got some folks representing the District there—Mayor Fenty is in town, and expected to push for DC voting rights.  Michelle Rhee is also there, chatting about school reform. The Post also has a long piece on her first year as chancellor, marking the first day of schools opening.
