Anyone who doubts the presidential debate in Denver today is a big friggin’ deal should take a dive inside the swag bag the University of Denver is giving to media covering the event.

Below are photos of the small perks — some very, very small — of reporting at the first of three presidential debates, conveniently located in the key swing state of Colorado.
