Like all major campaign events in recent years, Saturday’s rally in Springfield where Barack Obama introduced Senator Joseph Biden as his choice for the Democratic vice-presidential nominee was meticulously covered by the media. This was, of course, no surprise. But I was surprised by my response to attending the rally. News coverage devotes so much time to the logistics, stagecraft and “messaging” of campaign events that I felt strangely disconnected witnessing one in person.
