WASHINGTON (Reuters) - When Democrats gather in Denver next week to nominate Barack Obama for president, they'll be joined by such uninvited guests as Republicans Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney.
The two former presidential candidates will be among two dozen or so Republicans in the city hoping to get their party's message out during a week dominated by Democratic festivities.
Their slogan? "Not Ready '08: A Mile High and an Inch Deep," a play on the nickname for the high-altitude city in the western United States.

They will be joined by Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who will respond to New York Sen. Hillary Clinton's Tuesday night speech.

COOL!
What medium are they going to use to respond?
The one in which they won’t be heard or covered by the MSM.
Actually I have no idea.
Behind enemy lines.
That's GREAT!
Madame Rosa.
And in addition: "Along with daily news conferences and one-on-one interviews, the Republicans will roll out new TV advertisements and a website www.notready08.com to keep up attacks on Obama."
I guess that means they'll get their smiling mugs on TV and the rest of their message out through the website.
“What medium are they going to use to respond?”
ENGLISH.

Love it!
It’ll be a rare medium, if their coverage is well done.
LOL!!!
Madame Rosa, indeed.
Reminds me of the old Jackson Browne tune, “Rosey”. After playing it on the radio for a couple of weeks, I was very surprised to learn what it was really about.
I always listened to the melody to do the segues; didn’t pay as much attention to the lyrics.
Great!!! BTW, how come there has not been any press on how Kerri Walsh grabbed the mic last night and personally thanked President Bush?!!!
Any media medium that will cover them.
...and whoever gathers the largest crowd will be McCain’s VP...
Quote Rooty. "Most of Clinton's policies are the same as mine".
Is he testing out VP candidates???
Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty and Carly Fiorina???
Hmmm...may the best Attack Dog win!???
I'd guess not. His VP, I'd think, would be someone not in the trenches. Dropping some bombs, maybe, but not in the trenches.
That would be my instinct, too. If the MSM portrays these events as "vicious attack dog" speeches, I would think that McCain would prefer not to have his VP tarnished right now. McCain would not want his VP's first actions to be defending what will be portrayed as "dirty" campaigning.
Not that I'm known as The Great Prognosticator, but...I'm picturing Romney and Giuliani as having fun with this. Attacking, to be sure, but smiley nonetheless. That said, I don't know why McCain would risk sacrificing his VP choice to this.
