Obama Will accept Nomination at Invesco Stadium

Category: Election 2008, McCain, Obama

This. Is. Huge. No matter what your stripes are on the candidate, the move to Invesco Stadium, Home of the Denver Broncos, seating 75,000 people, to give the acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention is balsy, and begs a response for the Republican National Convention a few days later.

Obama, by doing this, will pack the stadium with 75,000+ (oh, you know there will be plus) will show the vitality, the drive, and the immense size of his candidacy. This speech will echo for days in the Colorado skies as he jumps into the final strech of the race. Then, a week later, McCain will accept his nomination, but the comparrison will be great, and it will be made by everyone. Imagine the Green Screen, “That’s not change you can believe in” speech McCain made, compare it to Obama Speech made later that night… and then imagine the gulf between the two of them come August.

 The GOP better come up with something, and quickly, in order to counter punch this development.
