NBA superstar wows Dems

By Mike Saccone | Tuesday, August 26, 2008, 07:39 PM

DENVER — Most attendees of the Democratic National Convention probably routinely tune their TVs to C-SPAN, but one convention guest showed that ESPN reigns supreme.

The largest draw outside tonight’s festivities was no senator. He was no governor. He was a basketball star: Charles Barkley.

When Barkley walked by, swamped by fans outside the Pepsi Center, one man remarked, “Even the cops are excited.”
