On August 28th, 2008-- forty years after Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream," Senator Barack Obama will deliver his nomination acceptance speech at Invesco Field in Denver though the Democratic Convention will be held at the Pepsi Center in Downtown Denver.
The Reason for this move: a Rhetorical Spectacle. While the Pepsi center can only hold 20,000 people, Invesco Field can hold 75,000.
The expectations may just be a little too high after this move.

I'm annoyed by this list. for two reasons.
1. theology and religion ought to have separate entries. no fair letting theology dominate when, in real life, religious studies is the more robust discipline within the academy.
2. another damned medievalist? seriously? and no Dr. Crazy? boo.a
