People power might be doing a great job energizing Barack Obama's campaign, but it's not doing so well at Invesco Field – at least as far as the concession stands are concerned.
It's no surprise that the lines for food were long before Mr. Obama's speech. But once hungry attendees got in line there often seemed to be no movement at all. Concessionaires at one stand ran out of chicken, hot dogs and other products before 7 p.m. mountain time.
