James Dobson’s outfit urges his followers to pray for torrential rain during Obama’s acceptance speech. Could you make this up?

I guess I should go on record as arguing that it’s a huge mistake to have that speech in a stadium anyway. Like the Berlin speech, which has in the end become a liability for Obama, the mass rally will turn off more people than it will inspire. The moment will be historic enough without the overkill. Unless, of course, the speech is really, really good.
