Apologies for altering the title from that used by the Charlotte Observer, in violation of FR standards, but I thought it justified under the circumstances.

As Shakespeare wrote in The Merry Wives of Windsor, I expect that those in attendance will experience "the rankest compound of villainous smell that ever offended nostril." And the scent of all the rose petals in the world will be insufficient to overcome it.

No matter what Charlotte does, they won’t be able to cover up the stink of the ‘Rats.

[abercrombie_guy_38]

I like the Westin scent

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Pull my finger...

[bgill]

It’s going to take a lot of TEA and TEA Partiers to cover the stench of RATS.

[ozaukeemom]

Oil based scents give me a migraine that won’t quit. I guess I need to check before getting a room in a hotel.

[Shannon]

Great, get dosed with chemicals that smell like coconuts or white tea (whatever that is). Another reason to steer clear of Charlotte during that week. Not like I’d be going there anyway but when it comes to artificial scents, I can’t get away fast enough.

[IronJack]

You think it stinks NOW??? Wait until the DEMOCRATS arrive! Between the fact that they have never been introduced to hygiene and their every utterance being bullshyte, the stench will be a force of nature.

[Venturer]

Do they have the contract for Air Force One?

[LibertyRocks]

That will come in handy when the feces throwing protesters show up.

[Zakeet]

Such things are necessary when dealing with the Great Unwashed Mass of Democrats ... and in related news, Charlotte authorities are setting up mobile VD clinics ... and drug overdose facilities ... and gunshot trauma facilities ... and drunk tanks ... and busing in thousands of whores ... both straight and gay!

[JimSEA]

What no Chicago Musk Oil or Eau de Bangkok???

[Paladin2]

Maybe they should use the fragrance of bales of money.

[MissMagnolia]

Two scents I didn’t see mentioned: peppermint oil & cedar leaf oil (repels rats).

[Tax-chick]

Industry innovations include the scented highway billboard, which ScentAir and a marketing company tried in 2010 to promote grilled steak from the base of a sign along N.C. 150 in Mooresville.

Did it attract dogs?

[southernnorthcarolina]

Perhaps we should wait to see what the Pew Poll says about this.

[CrazyIvan]

I long for the good old days when politics smelled like cigar smoke.

[NonValueAdded]

Oh, I thought they meant after the DNC convention.

[WorkingClassFilth]

The company made a pitch to DNC officials to create a signature scent to use at major events.

I know the winning recipe: 1 part marijuana. 1 part freshly polished jack boots. 1 part patchouli. 1 part spent 7.62 X 39 shells. 1 part graft money. 1 part detonated semtex. 1 part stained Oval Office carpet. 1 part blood and fear smell from Lubyanka KGB prison in Moscow. 15 parts bovine excrement. Oh, wait! They already reek of those things. Oh well, back to the fragrance lab . . .

[OrangeHoof]

I wonder how much it would cost to produce a scent that makes people subconsciously favor tax cuts? Surely the Koch Brothers would pony up the money to fill the convention hall with this.

[RetiredTexasVet]

At least one hotel should have the appropriate smells for queers, freaks and perverts. Possible research should be done in SF bathhouses, LA porn studios, and other hotel that have hosted gay pride marches, etc. to get that exact authentic smell that these patrons strive for. I’m sure that they will be able to book up very quickly once the word gets out.
