"The Xcel Energy Center hasn't hosted anyone who skates and flips as much as Sen. Obama since the U.S. Figure Skating Championships were in town and the Minnesota Wild were eliminated from the hockey playoffs. We look forward to Sen. McCain's visit to Saint Paul in September, where he will accept our party's nomination and offer a far more substantive vision for leading America forward than the spectacle witnessed tonight."
