There are 15,000 journalists in Denver this week covering the Democratic National Convention. What the heck are they all doing?For Jon Scott, host of Fox News’ midday show “Happening Now,” the Democratic National Convention in Denver is a homecoming. That’s not a political statement; it’s literal: Scott grew up in Lakewood and Englewood.So does that give him a leg up on the other 14,999 journalists?While story assignments are still being sorted out – and to some extent will depend on what’s happening at the convention – Scott does have some ideas he hopes to follow up on.”I think back to the (2004) convention that launched (Barack) Obama into national prominence,” he said. “I’d like to do the back story on that, how it was that a relatively obscure state senator from Illinois gets thrown into that role.”And he’s hoping to get out and show viewers some of his hometown.”I’m excited about the fact that I get to help show off my home city and my home state to a worldwide audience,” Scott said.
