I have 15 min left of my internet time so I have to keep this brief until tonight. But Invesco field was absolutely fantastic though also absolutely chaotic. You can read some of my thoughts over at MiddBlog.
Invesco wasn’t all we did yesterday, though. We spent the morning at a panel discussion by the People For the American Way about the future of the Supreme Court (more on that later as well). And then we (we being my mom and her friend Cathy) spent the afternoon in the peace and silence of the Denver Art Museum.
Getting to Invesco required first driving to the Pepsi Center, going through a credential check and then taking a bus to Invesco Field where we went through about a half an hour of waiting in line for security (for some, it was almost four hours).
My initial thoughts on Obama’s speech? Absolutley fantastic. He was pragmatic and practical. He seemed very presidential. I happen to prefer he’s speech style when he’s really desperate, but he’s not desperate anymore. And, last night was probably the first time a majority of America was watching Obama and they don’t want to see somone who’s desperate. I thought he addressed every topic, smartly choosing the economy first. He responded to every personal attach thrown at him. He even address controversial issues like abortion and gay marriage. Tom Daschle, at breakfast yesterday morning, called the overall convention a “Life Moment” and I thought Obama’s speech cemented last night as a life moment for everyone.
So now you tell me, am I right or wrong? Was Obama amazing or not?
(Stay tuned for commentary and photos, but now I have to go.)
