DENVER - There's quite a huge glare on my computer screen right now as I type, so if there are any typos, I blame it entirely on poor visibility rather than poor spelling.

And that's the only complaint possible as I settle into my press seat in Section 131 of Invesco Field (the end zone at the open end of the stadium).

What does this have to do with our ongoing and somewhat random ranking of reasons to love America? Let me explain it matter-of-factly.

I'm sitting in a football stadium, witnessing the most historic political moment of my lifetime with my own eyes. No press box glass to send my view askew. No indoor air to keep me from fully embracing the true atmosphere of this moment. I'm a few first downs away from history.

And I've got power and an Internet connection at the same time. From a seat in a football stadium, I can witness the majesty of this moment and still connect to my servers back home to update our DNC coverage.

To be clear, this isn't about politics or partisan journalism or experience or change or attack ads or foreign policy or anything of that nature. This is about standing on the doorstep of American history that my grandchildren will read about in their social studies books, and documenting it at the same time from a laptop. What a world we live in these days. And that's what makes this the Reason No. 4 to love America.

And Stevie Wonder is going to perform live! Holla!
