Farrel; have ya nothing else in your arsenal?

The "technical" people for Invesco field kept asking the campaign, "What if it rains?"

Obama people Answer: It isn't going to rain.

"But, no, seriously, what is plan B if it rains?"

Obama people Answer: It isn't going to rain.

Peggy was looking for rain (of any of several types). Nope. None.

I love to read Peggy's WSJ columns, too. She's much more conservative than I am, but she isn't a loon like the neocons. She's got such a wonderful way with words and a great perspective on things, having been around for so long.

But I just watched Obama's speech, and I have to say that Peggy's thoughts about what could go wrong at Invesco never materialized. Obama was magnificent, and I'm sure that Peggy will admit it in her column next week.
