Great big columns

[EarlG]

I love it. There's nothing wrong with using columns as a backdrop. Look, George W. Bush http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=6775697">had columns in 2004.



This is all about contrast. Obama's speech is going to be one of the most-watched Convention speeches ever, it's going to be all about hope and change, and he's going to do it in a sold-out football stadium in front of a backdrop that looks like the White House. The following week, McCain is going to stand in a roomful of Bush-supporting stiffs and give a speech full of fear and smear, badly-delivered jokes, creepy grins, and embarassing pauses.

So, now they want us to believe that columns are somehow un-American. Ha ha!

You know how McCain is starting to over-use his P.O.W. story? I think the wingnuts might be about to do the same with their "presumptuous" attack.

The Obama campaign is gambling that the "presumptuous" attacks will pale in comparison to the powerful image they're going to create on that football field. They're going to use their biggest audience yet to say "Check it out. President Obama."

If it works - and I think it will, despite MSM spin - I'd suggest that Obama may be about to move into an area that one could describe as post-presumptuous.
