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.

Hilary Clinton made it well known during her primary campaign against Barack Obama that she was from Scranton and Lackawanna County. Clinton’s “home-roots” helped her with 74% of the vote in the county compared to the 55% she was able to muster state-wide. Obama’s pick of Joseph Biden, who also was born in the region, could go a long ways towards bridging the gap that could have existed from an pro-Hillary area.

Scranton is the state’s 6th largest city and a key battleground area for Democrats. A strong showing in Lackawanna County goes a long way in helping any Democrat win state-wide. John Kerry won Lackawanna County in 2004 with 56% of the vote while winning the state with 51% and Al Gore won the county with 60% and also won 51% in the state.
