The NY Post devotes today's cover to the elaborate stage being built for Barack Obama's Democratic presidential nomination acceptance today in Denver. The Post proclaims, BARACK OBAMA'S TEMPLE OF DEMOCRATS ON MT. O-LYMPUS, noting that it was "built by the same cheesy set team that put together Britney Spears' last tour." John McCain's campaign calls it "Temple of Obama," blasts the candidate for being too lofty, telling the Post, "We would have expected to read something like this in The Onion. Fortunately for us, it's true. Unfortunately for Obama, it's true." Even the NY Times notes how the Democratic party is trying to "minimize the stadiums political risks," because they want the event to feel intimate...in a football stadium.
