We've heard a lot of talk of how important it is for the Democrats to be optimistic. But the optimism of forced smiles and focus-grouped phrases can be a wan thing indeed. Obama's optimism was expressed in the language of faith. When he talked of "the audacity of hope!" he was reaching for something inside the breast of every religious believer, and connecting with the audacious hope that has fueled heroic American projects, from the nation's very founding to the civil rights movement. “THE AUDACITY OF HOPE!” We’ve heard a lot of talk of how important it is for the Democrats to be optimistic.

"Obama standing before tens of thousands of people.....joined under a Rocky Mountain sky where possibilities seem as endless and luminous as the many Broncos’ skyboxes shining from above." Give Obama credit. He’s the only guy who gets glowing reviews for speeches he hasn’t given yet. “The one thing everyone will remember from this convention is the historic speech made under Colorado skies.”

This August, 75,000 devoted followers will shed tears of joy as they raise their hands in worship at the coronation of their risen King. And although you won’t see a shining cross rising high above a hill, there will be a large white ceramic horse rising high above a King Soopers billboard. Our Savior’s move from the Pepsi Center will cost the Denver's Democratic National Convention host committee an additional $3 million dollars. This really shouldn’t be a problem. I mean, when you’re already $15 million in the hole, what’s another $3 million? not sure what to think I guess.
