For Barack Obama's speech, a cloudless sky

Supporters appear to fill the 75,000-seat Invesco Field during the Democratic National Convention 2008 in Denver, Colorado, on August 28, 2008. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tonight will summon Americans to join his crusade for political change as he claims his place in history in a dazzling finale to the Democratic convention

DENVER -- As Barack Obama's acceptance speech approaches, the weather could not be more perfect.

In the dry climate of the Rockies, the heat of the day has dissipated and the evening's temperature could not be more comfortable.

There isn't a hint of the torrential rain that one Christian conservative -- somewhat infamously -- prayed for (and asked others to seek through prayer, as well).

In fact, there isn't a cloud in the sky.
