In May, three months before the start of the Democratic National Convention, another group met in Denver for its own annual soiree. The United Astrology Conference held a presidential panel on the final day of its five-day gathering, with all seven panelists predicting a Barack Obama win — this prognostication coming before the Democratic primary between Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton had even come to a close.
