DENVER-- Even though it is only the first day of the Democratic National Convention, New Hampshire Democratic Party staffers say there have not been any major problems so far.

David Scannell, New Hampshire Democratic Party executive director, and Mike Brunelle, New Hampshire Democratic Party political director, has been in Denver since the weekend ensuring delegates have a smooth convention.

This weekend state Sen. Martha Fuller Clark (D-Portsmouth) will be one of 30 people who could determine Sen. Hillary Clinton's (D-NY) fate.

Fuller Clark is a member of the Democratic National Committee Rules Committee that will meet this weekend to determine if the delegates from Florida and Michigan should be seated at the national convention.  The two states were stripped of their delegates because they voted before the date purposed by the DNC.
