Sure about that?

[napscoordinator]

What are they giving away? You know dang well that people are not voluntarily going to see Obama. First all his fans have already saw him in person so why go again. Secondly, the enthusiasm of the Democrats is down due to reelection and also disappointment (first). They are going to spend a ton on this night to make it a success.

[eeriegeno]

Yeah but fill the seats with what?

[SandRat]

Must be a small stadium.

Rains wash away Mount Obama in Charlotte, N.C.

Excerpt:

---

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A torrential downpour that struck Charlotte Saturday afternoon damaged the Mount Rushmore-style sand sculpture bust of President Obama — an ominous beginning to what many fear is a plagued convention. Workers were trying Saturday afternoon to reform the base of the sculpture, built from sand brought in from Myrtle Beach, S.C., pounding and smoothing out the sand that had washed off the facade of the waist-up rendering of the chief executive.

The sand sculpture was protected from above, and Mr. Obama's face didn't see too much damage. But the storm was so strong that its heavy winds blew the rain sideways, pelting the president's right side and leaving the sand pockmarked and completely erasing his right elbow.

You know how Hollywood movies can make 100 extras look like 10,000 gladiators coming over a hill. We better watch carefully that night and see if they try some trick photography or cardboard cutouts at BofA.

Oh, they’ll bus in enough bums if they have to. The diversity look will do wonders.

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL! That thing is getting creepier by the hour.

Generally here in Mexico, you can pay people standing in the park $30 for the day to march in a parade, hold up a sign, HEY...HE IS CREATING JOBS, give him credit.

About as substantial as a sand castle — yup. Whose idiotic idea was this.

[StAnDeliver]

Bogus. One drop of rain and easily the last 50 rows will be empty...

[Emperor Palpatine]

I bet there’s ads running in the “Help Wanted” section of the local papers down there looking to hire people to attend.
