DENVER - Democrats will kneel before the "Temple of Obama" tonight.
As if a Rocky Mountain coronation were not lofty enough, Barack Obama will aim for Mount Olympus when he accepts his party's nomination atop an enormous, Greek-columned stage - designed by the same cheesy set team that put together Britney Spears' last tour.
John McCain's campaign mocked the massive neoclassical set created for Obama's speech at 75,000-seat Invesco Field.

This is Obama’s “Dukakis Tank Moment”.
This is a political phenomenon when an event intersects with an emerging narrative that cements the public perception. This is it. This is what we’ve been waiting for. And the Obama people likely know it, but its too late for them to turn back now. They are on a collision course with a shark, and Obama is about to jump it.

This is the beginning of the end of Obama.

JFK two weeks ago, MLK today. This guy can act.
I hope you're right. :-D
The Dims probably wouldn't be too happy that the contractor basically compares Britney and Obama.
What are the chances of there being live animals sacrificed during the coronation?
But do you know who the entertainment will be tonight?
This election will give us an exact counting on the number of idiots who walk amongst us, where they live, in what percentages and allow us to draw a new map based on places where morons thrive.
Yes, it would be a nice tribute to Moloch, who was asked to remain backstage during the convention.
I believe you have captured it quite perfectly.
LOL...
All they need are some animal sacrifices from some of the sheep in the audience.
