1. It looks like America

Very stately.

[Fleshdancer]

2. I think it looks great

I would hate to have to sit behind it though

[Phx_Dem]

3. Wow. It's looking pretty cool. n/t

[NYC Liberal]

4. The idiot GOPers are sending people in togas

Nevermind the fact that Congress, the White House, Supreme Court building, Lincoln Memorial, and a lot of other important American buildings have the same architectural style.

It did sort of look Parthenon-esque in the VERY early stages, in the first photos. Now it's quite obviously invoking the style of Washington DC.

12. Something Guiliani must be quite used to. In high heels.

[DaveofCali]

16. Republicans look like idiots now

Those fools jumped on this too early and they look like idiot asshats now! They deserve it! ROFLMAO!

[WeDidIt]

17. We all knew there would be white people in sheets protesting Obama

I just didn't figure it would be at the OVERT direction of the RNC.

[Drunken Irishman]

19. And it doesn't look like a huge mole.

[JaneQPublic]

8. Amazing.

Only our stage doesn't have all that ugly red.

[VolcanoJen]

10. I mean, down to the ropeline around it, it is IDENTICAL

McCain/Bush? You've been pwn3d. ;-)

[justiceischeap]

13. I think they stole the idea from U2

[WeDidIt]

[Hope And Change]

9. K & R!Thanks for posting!

[NYC_SKP]

11. Greek Revival.....appropriate.

Where are the roots of Democracy?

There's nothing wrong with evoking civic centers in this very civic event.

And to those who criticize the style, remind them of the countless train stations, post offices, and other civic buildings throughout the country that are neoclassical in design.

I seem to remember a Marriott Courtyard in Fairfax county with Doric Columns....

[Barack_America]

14. Hmph. How un-American.

[ClarkUSA]

15. Trust Team Obama to stage a beautifully historic moment in American history

GObama!

[MadrasT]

20. Wow, looks much better than I had anticipated.

Looks great, actually. I especially like the big blue Obama/Biden banners with the stars. Sweet.

[JuniperLea]

21. Shucks! A real rock star would have something like this:

[lurky]

25. Are they going to have giant TV screens?

I've been to a couple big stadium concerts, and it's almost impossible to see the stars from the back row.
