attempting to make Obama's popularity a "bad" thing!

Risks of Invesco event worry top Dems

Senior Democratic officials are expressing serious concerns about the political risks posed by Barack Obama's acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High tonight.

From the elaborate stagecraft to the teeming crowd of 80,000 cheering partisans, from the vagaries of the weather to the unpredictable audience reaction, the optics surrounding the stadium event have heightened worries that the Obama campaign is engaging in a high-risk endeavor in an uncontrollable environment.

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.

I'm sure that McCain won't have this problem!
The media has to try to create controversy where there is none. I think this is amazingly inspiring that a Democrat can attain this level of popularity. And it is wonderful that Obama is being so inclusive that anyone can attend this event and that so many people are thrilled to attend.
