Last night, Senator Barack Obama formally accepted the Democratic nomination for President of the United States of America.
So many peple wanted to share in this historic occasion that they managed to squeeze some 84,000 into Mile High Stadium. (As a side note, the McCain campaign is having trouble filling a 10,000-seat theater in Dayton for his VP announcement, so they're giving away tickets and bussing people in from all over. But, of course, the mainstream media will not pay so much attention to that little tidbit.)
Obama delivered his historic speech last night on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. The timing could not have been more perfect.
The dream is slowly becoming a reality, or so this might suggest.
I just hope that on election day Obama will not be judged by the color of his skin but by the content of his character.
But, unfortunately, for now that's a big question mark.
