Supply and demand is at work in Denver, Colorado as the DNC Drives Rental Prices Through The Roof. Surrounding Metro Denver areas have rents at $1,000 to $2,000 a night for the going rate seen on "Craigslist" for short term rentals this August during the Democratic National Convention. The last Democratic National Convention held in Denver was in 1908, when William Bryan ran against William Taft. Within a one-month span, 82,000 DNC participants will converge in Denver, Colorado. That number does not include family members who are bound to tag along. Denver will be a busy place with every available rental car reserved and every hotel room booked. By the way, the cost of a Denver hotel room in 1908, about $1.00; 2006 average, $144 downtown.
