Mon Jul 07, 2008 at 07:06:14 AM PDT

Barack Obama will accept the Democratic nomination for the presidency of the United States on August 28, 2008--forty-five years to the night of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.  He will accept the nomination at Invesco Field, a stadium in Denver capable of seating 75,000 people...

Obama - Invesco

"The Democratic Party is nominating a true change candidate this August, and it is only fitting that we make some big changes in how we put on the Convention," DNC Chairman Howard Dean says. "By bringing the last night of the Convention out to the people, we will be able to showcase Barack Obama's positive, people-centered vision for our country in a big way."

This is big, and it will be a big night.  Sorry for short diary, I'm just excited.

So, what do we think?
