It seems Obama doesn't do so well off script, he will stay on point.

wishfull thinking. Obama knows what to do with a crowd. the backfair only comes if people are turned off by the rockstar deal.
but he is spinning this well. I dont think that will happen

Well, this Independent is not voting Obama. I don't want an Obamination! Personally, I think it will be a toss up until election night. Unless McCain does something REALLY smart or Obama/Biden does something REALLY stoopid, I think it will be too tight to call until election night. And if it IS a really tight election, you can bet the Dems will already have their bank of lawyers poised to pounce on the system. I sincerely hope this election does NOT end up in the hands of the courts!

From what I've seen, he's dependant on a teleprompter to give a speech. So if he is using one tonight, I hope it goes on the fritz and people get to see him stumble around and try to think of what he is supposed to say.

Interesting comment concerning the Democrats worrying about Obama speaking at Mile High Stadium.

A common concern: that the stadium appearance plays against Obama's convention goal of lowering his star wattage and connecting with average Americans and gives Republicans a chance to drive home their message that the Democratic nominee is a narcissistic celebrity candidate.

"We already know he is a rock star; we already know he can bring 85,000 people together in a stadium. He has done it multiple times. He needs to talk to people who haven't made up their minds yet," said Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen.

They are calling it "Barackopolis." That is so funny!!! Obama has more of a rock star status than a presidential candidate. Can't wait for all this to be over!!!
