From the laptop of Sam Carmody:
Tonight's speech by Sen. Obama at Invesco Field will conclude a remarkable week. I have been very fortunate to attend every day of the convention and to hear the speeches of some of our nation's greatest politicians. I will forever remember hearing Sen. Ted Kennedy, President Bill Clinton, and Sen. Joe Biden address the Democrats.
Additionally, I thought Sen. Hillary Clinton's motion last night to suspend the roll call vote for the nomination and to cast one ballot in acclamation for Barack Obama was extraordinary.
However, tonight's event will most likely surpass all the excitement of the week.
On the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, Barack Obama will appear before nearly 75,000 people to accept the Democratic nomination and share his plans for America's future. I imagine that his speech will be looked back upon as a monumental occasion as well, and I am overcome with anticipation to be witness to this historic event.
