It is now official: Barack Obama will deliver his acceptance speech at the Denver Broncos' stadium, which holds 76,000 people, most of whom are going to be screaming their heads off on Aug. 28. That will be a tough act for John McCain to follow a week later. He can make valid points about his wartime service to his country and his experience, but it's hard to see how he can have the emotional impact Obama will have. And all the pundits will no doubt point out over and over that the only other candidate to give his acceptance speech in a stadium was John F. Kennedy, someone Obama would love to be compared to, of course. Why else do you think he hired Caroline Kennedy to vet his Veeps?
How the tickets will be distributed is yet to come, but Obama's campaign manager, David Plouffe, has announced that there will be a drawing from the people who make a donation of $5 or more from now to the end of July, and 10 lucky winners will get free trips to Denver for two, tickets to the acceptance speech, and a backstage meeting with Obama. This is a bit surprising though. The could easily have made this the first prize, with 100 second prizes of tickets and a meeting with Obama in groups of 20, and 1000 third prizes of just tickets. But maybe there is more to come.
