Bivens sees diversity as distinguishing feature between DNC and RNC

DENVER -- Arizona Democratic Party Chairman Don Bivens said Monday that the level of diversity presented by the Democratic National Convention will outstrip that of the Republican convention a week later in Minneapolis/St. Paul.

"That will be the difference in the photos," he said. "There are so many different people here, that's what's really cool."

Bivens said he is excited about the presumed acceptance speech of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), but his favorite moment of the convention so far was an interfaith service he saw on Sunday, before the convention officially started.

"It was a service where there was a christian minister, then a woman got up and read from the Koran. It just struck me."
