With hotels sold out in Denver and St. Paul, the "housing panic" will cause thousands of Obama and mccain supporters will be shut out of the conventions.

AirBedandBreakfast.com is a new site that lets travelers book rooms locals, instead of hotels. Travelers save money and get to experience the local culture, while hosts make money and have the opportunity to meet new people. Now, in just a few clicks, conference attendees who don't have hotel reservations can book a stay with a Denver or St. Paul local.

Unlike Craigslist - the current default vehicle for finding a room for rent - the process is 100 percent automated, and all money transactions are handled through the site, just like hotels.com.

Word about AirBedandBreakfast.com is spreading rapidly, especially in Denver, where on average 50 new hosts are signing up per day. This shouldn't be too surprising though - folks are excited about supporting the democratic process, and AirBedandBreakfast.com provides a solution to a very serious housing problem.

Here's how it works. People with rooms are maybe couches to spare list their locations on the website. Travelers search the profiles until they find a location that fits. You don't just find a lodging venue. You make new friends!
