Well to be fair, not everyone that viewed it, liked it.

Some people just tuned in to find things they can nitpick about.

Did he have it outdoors, with fireworks in a big stadium? I don't remember Bush's speech in 2004.

And I'm guessing Obama is gonna lose, mainly because of how the universe likes to screw people over.

I'm sure it couldn't have been outside. Not that many motivated R's in 2004. but the stage was as dramatic.

It was being shown in the Theaters here in Eugene, Oregon.

I have a 120" 720p Projector screen at home, so I watched it on that with my family.

Amazing Speech.

In very broad generalities. As someone who has read his policy papers, it was lacking.

Nothing is wrong with Oregon. It is just one of the most radically liberal states in the union so them running it in theaters doesn't surprise me. Nothing wrong.

Oh it is no guarantee. The race is close.

And I'm guessing Obama is gonna lose, mainly because of how the universe likes to screw people over.

Not voting for Obama is screwing people over? :|

Let me say this: many people want Obama, and he'll probably be a good president. Therefore, the forces of fate are gonna screw us over by somehow getting McCain into office. District controversey, absentee ballots, counting the votes of US territories (not sure how often that's done, to be honest), everything will be done to get him in office.

Sorry, it was a speech for the ages. Even the conservative bloggers gave it that respect.

Takes a true fanboy to dismiss the quality of that presentation. But hey...at least you contributed to the 38 million.

Nope.

Democrats WANT Obama.

Republicans are willing to SETTLE for McCain.

If you don't understand the difference...well...we already know you won't.

I'm not saying it wasn't a great speech. OBOMA didn't write it though. He deserves none of the credit.

Stylized.

Better still: it reflected his campaign:

polished, well-facilitated, well-measured, controlled, disciplined, energized, substantive...and exceptional.

They did. And it was.

And I don't understand why some can't even acknowledge that. It's sad, really. The partisanship of it all. Oh well.

Yep. Very, very pretty.

Not that anything worth getting done got done, and I'm sure there was a massive mess to be cleaned up afterwards, but it was pretty.
