Rome and the DNC

Trying to blunt criticism of Obama as being 'elitist' and 'arrogant', the DNC built a roman collesium for Obama's Thursday speech.

Wait. What?
This is so far out there, that Republicans weren't sure how to address it. According to ABC's Political Radar:
"Is this from the Onion?" quipped a McCain adviser.


That would make sense, wouldn't it?
But this is real.
A Greek / Roman stage has been built for Obama's Thursday night appearance. After he talks, fireworks will go off. Oh, and I mentioned earlier that CNN paid for a blimp to cover all of this.

I think its safe to say that in 2008, the Democratic Party is embracing the empty photo op as something that they can get behind.

Various outlets are predicting that Obama will give his best speech yet.
Of course, they say that about every Obama speech. Obama speeches are like ER episodes.
The most moving ER episode... ever. This one, you have to see. Don't miss it. Why aren't you in front of your TV already?

We've all seen those commercials.
That's what Obama speeches are like. Except with more stedicams.
