P+P@The DNC: Liveblogging Obama at Invesco Field

Our P+P team is inside Invesco Field.

They are sending text messages and emails and updates.

Here’s a sampling:

Chris Nelson, 5:10:

Coachella, Lollapalooza.. anything you’ve been to where humans do their best cattle impersonation does not compare to the sight of the line to get in right now.

Brooke-Sidney Gavins, 5:16 p.m.:

Observation:

Udall likes the Bill Clinton thumbs up.

Kaine speaking Spanish…Latino Vote??

Kaine’s move the mountain reminded Torey of the little engine that could

Bill Richardson should lose the beard

Kaine’s speech made me excited Obama chose Biden

Chris Nelson, 5: 19:

P.S. Bill Richardson, aka The Hamburglar is still a tool, even with 40,000 people watching him.

Brooke-Sidney, 5:22 p.m:

Richardson’s speech is really strong on int’l relations. Is he trying out for the secretary of state spot?

Chris Nelson, 5:23

This is insane. The man is a rock star. Doesn’t matter how much the delegates or civilians here espouse specific policies, this has the exact vibe of a show.

Brooke-Sidney, 5:32 p.m.

Somehow Stevie Wonder is always moving and inspiring … Perfect match for Dems msg .. Yes u can.

Max Zimbert, 6:03 p.m.

Is this the first wave in convention history?

Max Zimbert, 6:08 p.m.

Michael Mcdonald????

What’s that line from 40 year old virgin when paul rudd walks in threatening to kill everyone unless the change the michael mcdonald dvd??

with progressives like obama, dean and pelosi as leaders, you’d think we would have such stiff acts. Michael mcdonald YUCK

But I guess its better than whatever toothless bumpkin anthems the GOP will offer in MN

Brooke-Sidney, 6:41 p.m.

The crowd loved the Republican’s testimony who is now voting for Obama.

Clearly, Obama campaign is highlighting stories from swing states - OH, MI, FL, NC, NM and IN

Max Zimbert, 6:41 p.m.:

Just was instructed: volunteers will pass out signs. And we are not to hold them up until we are told.

Brooke-Sidney, 6:50 p.m.:

There is a lot of anticipation…. You can feel it in the air. Everyone’s on bated breath waiting to catch a glimpse of obama or michelle

Chris Nelson, 7:12 p.m.:

Elvis is in the building.

Tricia Romano to Chris Nelson, 7:30 p.m.:

His speech is boring.

Chris Nelson, 7:38 p.m.:

Yep, taking no risks.

Tricia, 7:39 p.m.:

I wish he could be delivering Bill Clinton’s speech.

Chris, 7:42 p.m.:

He’s preaching to the choir 100%

Tricia, 7:42 p.m.:

I know, but he’s gotta preach to the undecided.

Chris, 7:42 p.m.:

The parents bit was good, biggest applause yet. Weaksauce on the terrorist bit.

Chris, 7:43 p.m.:

People eat up these clever little one liners. Theme of the convention, “Sloganville.” Taking a page from Rove’s playbook.

Chris, 7:44 p.m.:

He just stole a line from a speech in the movie American President with Michael Douglas.

Tricia, 7:45 p.m.:

Noooooooo.

Chris, 7:47 p.m.:

He’s building now.

Tricia, 8:01 p.m.

Nice AK 47 jab, but he won’t says the words, “gay marriage is good.”

Tricia, 8:02 p..m.:

That got better but what is this song? is it COUNTRY????

Chris 8:03 p.m.

Gotta say… really weak overall. Such a far cry from strong applause going on right now… I’m sure 4th and long in the playoffs for the Broncos is 10 times louder.

Chris, 8:05 p.m.:

WORST COUNTRY SONG EVER PLAYING. And a Delegate just farted.
