It was bound to happen.. I asked yesterday what was the Obama team thinking? Rumors circulated Wednesday that the stage set for the Obama acceptance speech tonight at Invesco Field gave the impression of an ancient Greek temple.. The Parthenon.. Mt Olympus.. One story in the Rocky Mountain News said the "stars were aligned" for the speech tonight.. The McCain camp was quick to mock the choice, New York tabloids piled on.. Murdoch's NY POST began their story this morning, "Democrats will kneel before the "Temple of Obama" tonight. As if a Rocky Mountain coronation were not lofty enough, Barack Obama will aim for Mount Olympus when he accepts his party's nomination atop an enormous, Greek-columned stage - built by the same cheesy set team that put together Britney Spears' last tour. " Stevie Wonder and Cheryl Crow are going to take part in the festival.. Also expect to see John Legend While the set looks Greek, at night it may give off the impression that Obama is standing in front of the White House.. And predictably, according to the Politico, senior Democrats are nervous about the Obama approach to his acceptance speech. Nervous about 80,000 cheering fans, the weather, the stage design, and about the chance that the McCain campaign could use images of the rock star appearance to slam Obama as.. a rock star (like they did a few weeks back).. While the world may be watching tonight, each part of that world will form their own opinion .. And it's not going to be a toga party for everyone..
