So, this is what Sen. Barack Obama's people envisioned when they decided to hold their candidate's acceptance speech at Invesco Field rather than at the Pepsi Center where the rest of the DNC is holding its events?
They decided to build a stage set that recreates a Greek or Roman temple. Mr. Obama goes to Washington perhaps?
All that expense and artifice for what? To be seen on a stage that could have been set anywhere so that the nation can take a measure of a man who simply lacks the experience to be President of the US?
That better be one heck of a speech he's preparing to give, because anything less would be a letdown. He can't afford a letdown given that Rasmussen and other polls are indicating that not only has he received no bounce from naming Joe Biden as his running mate, but he hasn't received a bounce during the convention to date. Those are bad signs.
UPDATE:
Ace has more photos of the set being built.
UPDATE:
Hot Air also weighs in on the ego-driven pomposity of the stage set. T
