CHARLOTTE, N.C. The chief meteorologist at a Charlotte television station is questioning the decision by Democrats to move President Obamas acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention to a smaller venue because of the weather.
Thursday night will likely be the best weather of the entire week, Brad Panovich of WCNC-NBC TV wrote on Twitter in reference to when Obamas speech was planned to take place at the outside Bank of America stadium, which can accommodate 70,000 people.
The Democratic National Committee on Wednesday announced that the weather is forcing them to relocate Obamas speech to the Time Warner Cable Arena, which is inside and holds a far fewer 22,000 people.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday morning after the news broke, Panovich said theres only a 20 to 30 percent chance of rain or storms and argued that if you are going to move inside for this small risk you could have done that days ago.
Said Panovich: My main point is if you were going to move inside for the small [weather] threat Thursday [,you] could have made that decision a week ago.
Republicans reacted to the news asking whether the change is really because the Democrats are worried about filling enough seats in the outdoor venue for the video cameras.
Problems filling the seats? Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski told reporters in a Wednesday email.

They will be lucky if they can fill the seats inside.
Bwahaha...do they really think we believe the weather story??????
Brad Panovich of WCNC-NBC TV should prepare for his upcoming tax related rectal exam for questioning the one.
Satan. Can’t stand sunlight.
They moved to Time Warner because of the weather. They may consider a move to Denny’s because of the great coffee and pie.
Really? The meteorologist is puzzled? And here I thought meteorologists were smart. The reason Obamugabe is moving the speech is oh so obvious.
“It’s not our fault!”
Prepare for your exam. You failed to capitlize “One.” Just joking - maybe.
Brad is clearly a racist.
Best question to ask Barry now:
“What are your plans for the disappointed tens of thousands of people who will be milling around in the rain?”
The forecast called for a 20% chance of rain, but a 100% chance of empty seats.
I hope that Thursday evening is a beautiful summer evening in Charlotte. Then they will really look odd to have moved it indoors.
Correct, Failed to CAP on purpose. Let ‘em catch me if they can! LOL
People don’t like voting for losers. ;)

Smiling. This is Due to Eastwood. Emperor Zero can’t bear the “empty chairs!”
They can use my unfinished attic!
