Carmelo wants to meet Obama

Conventional thinking: While he will surely be jet-lagged after coming back from the Olympics in China, Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony hopes to attend the Democratic National Convention in Denver, which begins tomorrow and ends Thursday. Anthony supports Democratic candidate Barack Obama and hopes to meet him at the convention at Pepsi Center, where Anthony often is the star attraction. "I support him 100 percent," Anthony said. "I'm not a politician, I can tell you that right now. But I support Barack Obama. That's history, too, for it to go on at the place where I work. I'd love to be a part of that."
