After further thought, I’m even more convinced. The guy running the teleprompter almost certainly was a union guy that the Republicans had no control over.
What the Republicans need to figure out (assuming that they figure out union guys generally don’t like them), is that they need their OWN PEOPLE to be capable of operating these machines...or not use them. A teleprompter cannot be that hard to operate, you have a dial for speed and pause button. Once a few of them are taught, you politely tell the union guy to have a seat, but not get anywhere near the machine. You pay him, and then deal with the grievance later, if at all.
Clearly, the Democrats were able to insert their own person in this key role...it is up to the Republicans to figure this out.
Yes, and the convention center probably has union work rules that forbid anyone else from touching the controls.
Another festering cesspool for the McCain/Palin administration to drain.
