Obama To Accept Nomination At Invesco Field

Ambinder has the scoop about the announcement…

On Thursday, August 28, Barack Obama plans to accept his nomination at Invesco Field in Denver, rather than at the Pepsi Center.

It’s going to cost the convention committee a lot of money to make the move, but Invesco Field can handle more than 75,000 spectators and will make a much better picture.

Hope it doesn’t rain…

UPDATE:
TPM points out the last presidential candidate to accept the nomination at a stadium…

It’s all about stagecraft folks, and Obama’s team runs circles around McCain’s. At least for now…

    Too true. What was it that other great showman PT Barnum said? Something about one being born every minute?

    If it rains, it rains. I don’t think many people will care.
