Obama to Accept Nomination Outdoors

Jim Johnson | July 7, 2008 |

Okay, I have to admit this is at least interesting.

Barack Obama will give his acceptance speech - not from the convention - in the open air. From an email rec’d today:

At the Democratic National Convention next month, we’re going to kick off the general election with an event that opens up the political process the same way we’ve opened it up throughout this campaign.

Barack has made it clear that this is your convention, not his.

On Thursday, August 28th, he’s scheduled to formally accept the Democratic nomination in a speech at the convention hall in front of the assembled delegates.

Instead, Barack will leave the convention hall and join more than 75,000 people for a huge, free, open-air event where he will deliver his acceptance speech to the American people.

Very interesting. But I wonder how the delegates will feel…
