It’s official: Barry Oh! to give Dem acceptance speech at Invesco Field
Via Marc Ambinder:
The big announcement comes tomorrow, according to Democrats.
[...]
It’s going to cost the convention committee a lot of money to make the move, but Invesco Field can handle more than 75,000 spectators and will make a much better picture.
Sure. Symbolism in the extreme. Then again, that has been the one of the main thrusts of the Obama campaign from the get-go, hasn’t it?
I can see it now: He’ll have two stages set up in the stadium – one on the left side for one set of positions he takes, and one on the right side for other set of positions he takes … on the same issues. Maybe we’ll all get lucky and treated to Jock Rock stadium music throughout the course of the evening, just to give us that big game/mega-concert pumped up feeling.
Anyone got any Tums handy?

BTW, BO is in my neck of the woods today (at an invite-only event) just miles from where yours truly writes her daily anti-Obama posts. His campaign is clearly banking on NC being a competitive state for Democrats in a presidential election for the first time in, oh, forever. I fear they may be correct.

Given the financial straits the DNC is in (look how badly their convention planning is going), it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that the Harbinger of Hope, Change, and Waffles’ campaign is quietly funding the stadium rental. Nuremberg rally, anyone?
I’m not too concerned about North Carolina’s vote, ST. I have faith that, as more people learn what an empty suit the Prophet Barack is, the more they’ll be inclined to vote for someone who actually knows what he’s talking about, aka “The Grumpy Old Guy.”
Correct me if I am wrong, but aren’t they supposed to vote on that sort of thing at the convention first? I believe that both candidates are still technically presumptive nominees, at least until the voting at the conventions. I can’t see someone upsetting McCain at the RNC, but really, the race between Hillary and Obama was close enough that second thoughts by enough superdelegates would switch it.
Nevermind – apparently that’s at the end of the convention. I read it pre-coffee, and I was thinking he was accepting it tomorrow (as in, July 8). Mea culpa.
