Sad to hear since I'm a huge Springsteen fan.

1. Damn it!

I was really looking forward to that too :(

2. That would have been one rockin' speech

Nothing like a great singer to go with a great candidate.

3. Somewhat relieved. He's been bad luck.

4. That's not exactly fair

I guess Obama has been bad luck as well then.

6. see post 5

5. To be honest, it never made sense to me....

From a media perspective. He already performed at the end of the 2004 campaign on pre election night in Cleveland Ohio.

7. Barack is who folks are coming to hear.......

everyone else is incidental!

8. Hope he does some concerts like last time, maybe in PA and Ohio

He gave great speeches before the concerts for Kerry. He gives a better Democratic pitch than all but 2 or 3 of tonight's speakers. And he's The Boss.

I actually didn't think it made sense for the acceptance night - if he played before, it would be detracting from Obama's speech, and if he played after it would be anti-climactic.
