Barack Obama in his acceptance speech last night mentioned infrastructure, sort of:

Ours is a promise that says government cannot solve all our problems, but what it should do is that which we cannot do for ourselves – protect us from harm and provide every child a decent education; keep our water clean and our toys safe; invest in new schools and new roads and new science and technology. [emphasis ours]

More here on infrastructure as a hidden campaign issue by The Observer's Eliot Brown, who was in Denver and is now on his way to St. Paul, site of the bridge collapse last August that killed several people.
