DENVER -- Sen. Barack Obama got himself motivated for tonight's big presidential speech at Invesco Field by playing some hoops. Matthew Mosk of the Washington Post was the print pool reporter and wrote that no news was made:
No news
Barack Obama took a short ride from the Westin to the Denver Athletic Club for a morning basketball game.
Obama entered the gym through a side door at 8:15 a.m., accompanied by friends Reggie Love and Dr. Eric Whitaker. The nominee wore black sweatpants, a brown t-shirt, a baseball cap, and carried a newspaper folded under his arm. He made no notice of the poolers and said nothing.
No stats were provided from the game, which lasted just over an hour.
Obama gave a quick wave and a "hey guys, how ya doin'" on the way out the door.
