Dem VIPs Getting Nervous About the "Temple of One"

  The Greek Temple theme upon which Barack Obama will give his acceptance speech is beginning to make some leading Democrats a little nervous.

  The whole rock star/celebrity stereotype Obama has tried to downplay won't be helped by the venue at Invesco Field.

A common concern: that the stadium appearance plays against Obama’s convention goal of lowering his star wattage and connecting with average Americans and that it gives Republicans a chance to drive home their message that the Democratic nominee is a narcissistic celebrity candidate.
