Barack Obama's campaign is considering moving his nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention from the Pepsi Center convention hall to Invesco Field at Mile High to accommodate the uncredentialed masses, sources say.
The move would mark a major departure from tradition, but would be in keeping with the candidate's desire to build a large grass-roots campaign focused on "change."
It also would leave behind the multi-million-dollar broadcast studios, media offices and high-tech podium and stage to be constructed at the Pepsi Center.

I think he should address the nation from the summit of Pike’s Peak and hand down some golden tablets with “Obama’s Commandments”
Or if 14,000 feet at night is bit chilly, even in the summer, there are plenty of hilltops in CO where he could speak and show us that he is truly the Obamessiah.
That wouldn’t be the first time he was a mile high.
The Rats are already scrounging for $ for the Convention. They’d have to come up with a lot more to do the stadium propaganda piece. But Soros could chip in, I guess.
This is supposed to be the greenest, most environmentally friendly convention ever. How environmentally smart is it to have set things up at the Pepsi Center, and then have to duplicate the effort at Invesco?
Yep, I agree, just send him to Pike’s Peak and let him hand down his wisdom to us huddled masses.

They could do a torchlight parade afterward, too.
Glad I don’t work for Invesco anymore. I’d hate to be associated in any way with a company that’d associate with him in any way.
Well, I might have four Bronco season tickets for sale.
I think the International Space Station would be a great venue — while standing outside in only the traditional blue suit.
People get the government they deserve. Joseph deMaistre.
And when people become THIS freaking STUPID and inattentive to their freedoms, THIS is the candidate they deserve.

Hurry before some diversity loving (RIGHT!) Obamaniac at YouTube pulls it.
The man has a dangerous ego.
mile high barf alert
However, there may be probs with mile high
the Broncos owner and coach are both well known republicans, and I’m sure they have priority as preseason will be well underway.
I’m not sure what would have to be done to render the place safe for human habitation afterward if the dems big event is held at the stadium.
does the city own the stadium? I think Invesco just owns the naming rights and paid for the name. Anybody know for sure?
Donks would never win another home game. The Bambino effect.
The sheer hubris of a move like this is breathtaking to me. Like you guys said, a real Riefenstahl moment.

This is getting creepier and creepier.
The Nazi parallels are obvious to anyone who knows their history and is paying attention to the Obama message and methods. Unfortunately that is not the majority of Americans. I’d have to say the move to the Invesco would be brilliant. His populist spiel about politics being for the people and not just the $10,000 a plate types is beautiful. AGGGHHH Why can’t the GOP learn to pull strings of the populace. It’s not rocket sceimnce we do it all the time when we sell things. Reagan got it. Gingrich got it. Perot got it. McCain...
I know you are half joking with that photo ...but Obama scares me...

I think this should be Obamalamadingdong’s theme song. Unless, of course, you have a better idea.
“The man has a dangerous ego.”

Amen! I may have known someone with so much unwarranted confidence before but I never have known such a one to rise so high so fast. Seldom has one so small fooled so many and promised so much and believed he could do so many wonders with such a little speck of brains and ability. Carter apparently was at least able to grow peanuts and drive nails, I doubt that Obama has the brains to do either one and lest anyone doubt it let me say I speak in all seriousness, I am NOT joking! I don’t believe he is running on his own, I think he is totally somebody’s puppet and without the puppetmaster I don’t think he could survive on his own out in the cold cruel world. I believe Warren G. Harding was a super genius compared to this clown.
Well said. I have been thinking the same. I am not scared of Obama because I have no respect for him or he is equipped with any capabilities to be scared of. I am scared of mobs and the American people.
But considering his followers, this may be better....(and if you click this, be forewarned that it barely falls within the YouTube posting guidlines.)

The convention is 6-9 weeks off, been in planning for years, and scrounging for money, reducing many events (including volunteer party) and he’s going to make a major last minute change like this? Even considering a change like that says tons about his judgment.
Will the Messiah allow the unwashed to be sold fried foods from the vendors? Maybe he will magically produce it on his own - “and behold, there were 75,000 fried chickens which fed the multitude”.

I tried to watch it but I kept puking too much. Wow, you really are a Psycho Bunny!

We determined a good while ago that this is much more appropriate for an Obama theme song.

Brings Back Memories of Old Adolfs Massive Propoganda Scenes from That Woman Film Maker Gykendal Or something similar to that ,I dont know her Exact name ,but you get the point
I can’t decide what’s sadder:
The fact that not only could Obama fill the stadium he could charge admission and still do it, or the fact that our candidate couldn’t fill the stadium if they paid people to attend.
Special guests - Cheech and Chong.
There is no shortage of stupid sheeple.

But we know it won't happen because the terrorists are on Obama's side.
Money means nothing to this man. Just a warning that our pockets and paychecks are his!!!
You can get some really bitchin' hailstorms in Denver during the summer...
I'm beginning to think Obama peaked already. Wishful thinking?????
McCain? I wouldn't walk to the corner to hear him speak!...and there will be no peak!
Do I think he’s peaking too early? Yeah. And I think he will lose if he actually is the nominee.
That said, the Obama rallies are starting to look a lot like Nuremburg, and that scares me.
I have ignored BO the past few weeks but I did see a photo where he was speaking to a small crowd in a half filled auditorium somewhere, sometime recently.
//It looks like Barry doesn’t want to share the stage with Bubba//
Who is Barry sharing the stage with now? The guy is going off the deep end IMO.
Note to self: Self, if ever caught up in the wave of celebrity/rock-stardom, dont have the audacity to believe that you control the wave.
