Denver remains in the race to host the 2008 Democratic National Convention, along with New York City, Minneapolis and New Orleans.

But a poll being taken via Democratic Web sites has Denver at the top of the list with 41 percent of the vote, followed by New Orleans with 33 percent, Minneapolis with 15 percent and New York with 6 percent.

Eleven cities had expressed interest in hosting the convention.

The Democrats, who last met in Boston, are expected to announce a decision this fall. The convention will be held Aug. 25-28, 2008.

Denver also is throwing its hat in the ring to host the Republican convention. Finalists for the GOP event are to be announced by July 1 with a selection made by Feb. 1, 2007, according to the Associated Press.
