Contrasts

Last night we watched Barack Obama deliver his acceptance speech in front of 70,000+ in Denver. Today we were treated to John McCain announcing his VP choice in front of a much smaller, though quite spirited, crowd in Dayton.

Two things really stood out.

One, the Obama crowd appeared to be one of the most racially diverse crowds ever to attend a political event.

Two, the Republican crowd did not appear to have nearly as much diversity.

The Grand Old Party of rich white people continues to appeal to its base.
