Democratic officials, citing weather concerns, are moving President Obama's planned nomination acceptance speech indoors -- and in doing so, choosing a significantly smaller venue that will leave out potentially thousands of Obama supporters.
The campaign is already moving to figure out what to do with those who planned to attend, and indicated Wednesday they would be invited to future Obama events, though not the main event this Thursday in Charlotte. An Obama campaign source told FoxNews.com the team is urging supporters to stay home Thursday and, instead, organize watch parties and participate in the live stream.
"We are encouraging them not to come to Charlotte," the source said.
Obama plans to speak to surely-disappointed credential holders via conference call Thursday afternoon.
The sudden change of plans, announced Wednesday by the Democratic convention committee, significantly scales back the atmosphere for Obama's second nomination address.

You didn’t fill that - how perfect! LOL!!
Hussein needs a hut.
I don’t think anyone is being left out. Those “thousands” of worshippers never existed in the first place.
Oh for a picture of a thousand empty chairs.... (sigh)
If I were a retail owner in this area I’d be ticked off! After all the HYPE of how many people are going to be there and all the expense of the preparation,,now they are being TOLD NOT TO COME TO CHARLOTTE at all.....
These people (libs) are monumentally stupid on top of being corrupt to the core
“Obama plans to speak to surely-disappointed credential holders via conference call Thursday afternoon.” and who is this group?
Amen to that
We all know what THAT call is going to be about. Obama will be demanding photos of disappointed worshippers be taken and don’t you dare put an empty chair in any of those pictures. He will want to see drama and despair so his camp can release those to the media and say “see! there is such disappointment with him” uh,,err,,I’m sure they won’t say it quite like that (romney has that covered already)
Personally I think the so-called “masses” didn’t exist in the first place.
“afraid of the rain”
I think “The One” is more afraid of an empty chair than he is afraid of God.
Thousands who were aborted 25 years ago.
I knew this would happen with DNC central planning the attendance. They end up offering free trips to NC then rationing and knocking off a lot of their idiot followers in the end. Always the same story with socialists.
Yes and what was the excuse for the small campaign crowds? Oh that’s right, they wanted to keep them small for security reasons. hahahahaha
In the end, all the dummies get from the DNC central planners who bussed them in, is bed bugs. Bless their hearts.
ESPN also has a weather forecast for Bank of American Stadium with 0% listed for Rain Thursday.
The rest of the convention is being held at the Time Warner Arena.
Why wasn’t Obama’s acceptance speech originally scheduled to be given there?
(I know the answer - because of his bloated ego and the whole messiah thing)
Would’ve averted this whole fiasco.
Just wondering why the DNC has never even been asked that question.
Even if they fail to fill those seats, you’ll never be shown it on a TV screen or hear it from a commentator’s lips—YouTube after the fact, maybe!

Actually, I think it will be
National Rearrange Your Sock Drawer Night then.
FUBO
