Barack Obama rocked the house last night. A big goddamn house at that: Invesco field, home of the NFL's Denver Broncos. The place was packed with what looked like 80-90 thousand cheering people. There was oceans of confetti, fireworks, an awesome stage, a full muscial lineup featuring Stevie Wonder and Cheryl Crow, and apparently even a wedding proposal prior to his speech. The whole scene was a bit surreal but a lot of fun to watch.
It wasn't the greatest speech ever given or even Barack's best speech ever, but it was damn good, especially at the end when he forcefully took on Republican attacks against him and sent the message that he's not going down quietly like Kerry, Gore and so many Democratic candidates in the past. Its going to be an interesting campaign, as I think McCain and Obama genuinely like and respect each other but they're gonna be at each other's throats for the next 2 months. We'll see what happens.
