Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has just dropped the final gavel of the 2008 Democratic National Convention. But that's not the end of our political coverage. We're packing up and heading to Minneapolis next week for the Republican National Convention. We'll have the same gavel-to-gavel coverage of the events, our delegates' work lobbying on behalf of public education, and the general convention buzz each day at Education Votes. 

Goodbye from Denver!
