Rockstar Politics (Thursday, August 28, 2008)

(Note: This post has been patiently waiting on my desktop until I got back to New York City!)

What a day it has been.

For the 75,000 people who had to get into the Invesco stadium, just getting in was a long process.invesco-fireworks-300.jpg

One man told me the wait in line was a good three hours; and I believe him.

I picked up the bus from Pepsi Center for the short trip over, and instead of dropping us off in the normal area we were told to cross two parking lots and walk over to the main entrance.

Once I got inside, I looked over the edges and saw the crowds had swelled tremendously and they were coming at us from all angles.

The pumped up attitude wasn’t just found amidst the stadium seats, the walk-ways circling the stadium were filled with folks from all over excited to see Senator Obama speak.

And what a performance.

The roar of the crowd as Obama walked down the catwalk and the trembling beneath my feet as people stomped to make extra noise made me think for a second we were about to see the Rolling Stones.
