The reason they pick Town Point Park is that they have the backdrop of the USS Wisconsin with is berthed there as a museum. They don't have to hassle with the base to get that "military" feel to their TV shots. John Kerry came there to campaign for that very reason.

Yes, your'e right. It will be interesting to see if they get the USS Wisconsin in their camera shot. Also, even though Norfolk is home to the largest Naval base in the world it is also the headquarters of PETA and home to the Ghent area which IMO has the largest concentration of liberals and homosexuals in the Hampton Roads area.

I wondered why she was going to be downtown instead of near gate 3 or over by gate 4, somewhere near the base. The whole downtown waterfront thing wasn't developed before I left and I didn't know the Wisconsin was berthed there. Thanks for clearing that up.
