Beautiful!

I wonder if they will lose any sort of deposit to the stadium authority. Geez! What was I thinking? These are democRATS and they don’t do no steenkin’ deposits.

re: The Charlotte metro area has approx. 2 million people (800K in Charlotte proper) and Obama can’t fill a 74,000 seat stadium on his big night? Not even with free bus rides and free ham sandwiches?

I am not a math whiz, so correct me if I am wrong, but when I did the math 74,000 is only .037% of 2 million. So if no other people from anywhere else in the country attended the speech, less than 4% of the Charlotte metro would have to attend to fill the seats for an historic event. If the Obama campaign is having to bus people in, that is really pitiful.

Bring in the state prison inmates to assist as ‘clean up crews’, empty the asylums, grant 3 day school holidays, free school bus service for students ‘wishing’ (ordered) to attend the ‘Rat Convention!

NUMBERS people, we gotta have NUMBERS!!

Ahh... It's 3.7% of 2 million.

Just wait until the fools start talking at the convention...and tell more lies.

They have a Mexican Mayer from San Antonio for their first speaker,he is nothing but a Mayer of mostly Mexican city and a city full of illegals..so he got elected..Nothing wrong with Mexicans just the ones uneducated and illegal..and one that are told to vote for the democrats that they know nothing about..

Lets see here, the sand sculpture is melting away, going from a 74,000 seating to 20,000, rain rain rain, Corrny Booker falls and hurts his leg, Clint Eastwood gets under their skin with the talking chair hell I can go on and on.

I can't watch the Dems because they make me sick and my blood pressure wants to explode so I am watching My Name is Earl and all I can think of is CARMA!!!!!!!!!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL...........

FYBO!! ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐

It looks like all that Obuggery has left is his Volksturm which is what the Nazis were down to at the bitter end of WWII.

Ham sanwitches? What are you, some sort of racist? You know Muzzies don’t eat pork. :-)

I like it!

That is pathetic. Give Sarah Palin's fans 24 hour notice, let alone the months that the Dems had, and the 74,000 seats would all be filled, with a line stretching miles outside the stadium. I wouldn't miss even a nap to see a failure like Obama, but it's amusing that those who think he's good for what they want America to become aren't interested in seeing him either.

Note: I was there for Beck/Palin/etc on MLK Day in 2010, and the two of them drew well over 200,000 people.

I liked this, found drilling down in the website you linked:

I’m praying for heavy rain all week in Charlotte.

Why don't they just photoshop in extra crowds, just like their Iranian friends do with missiles (third from the right is photoshop, and Iranian papers published another picture they took from the Internet - with dozen of photoshopped missiles plus Jar Jar Binks)? If Buckhead hadn't caught Dan Rather, I'll bet the far left media would still be using stunts like that to cover for their chosen Dear Leader.

LOL. Unintentional humour is often the best.

[Pollster1]

free ham sandwiches?

Bad call. Many of Obama's biggest fans don't eat ham.

[Buckeye McFrog]

or the potential rabble being conscripted out of bars, etc. that might have gotten into the stadium.

That had the makings of becoming the Superdome during Katrina

I wonder if they will lose any sort of deposit to the stadium authority. Geez!

I recall reading they paid 3 1/2 months rent up front. They ain't getting anything back.

thanks!
