Dick Durbin

DENVER--Being a delegate from New Hampshire did have its advantages this year. Invitation-only parties, free breakfast, gifts galore and hearing speeches from prominent Democratic leaders.

New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley said he was amazed by the diversity of the speakers that spoke before the delegation.

The fourth and final day of the Democratic National Convention will be called to order at 5:00 PM EST on Thursday, with a theme of "Change You Can Believe In."

The final day's events will take place at INVESCO Field at Mile High, where over 70,000 people are expected to attend.

Featured speakers will include Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter (D), former Vermont Gov. and Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean (D), New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (D), U.S. Rep. and U.S. Senate candidate Mark Udall (D-Colo.), Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine (D), former Vice President Al Gore (D) and U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D).

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), the Democratic presidential nominee, is scheduled to address the convention at 10 p.m. EST.

The full schedule is below.

DENVER-U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) told New Hampshire convention delegates that U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's defeat in the New Hampshire primary was a turning point for the campaign.

"It was a night I reminded Barack Obama of three weeks ago," Durbin told the delegation at their daily breakfast. "That night really made the difference for the campaign."

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) presidential campaign has announced additions to their New Hampshire communications team.

Sandra Abrevaya will be the New Hampshire communications director for the Obama campaign, while Larkin Barker has been hired to be press secretary for the "Campaign for Change" outreach effort. According to a campaign press release, Campaign for Change will "harness the enthusiasm of Obama's grassroots-level supporters and organize them in communities across New Hampshire as they work for Democratic candidates up and down the ticket."
