No Wonder Obama Moved His Acceptance Speech to Invesco Field (Weather last paragraph)

On the Invesco Stadium speech, weather.com's forecast for August 28 is "mostly sunny," with a 10 percent chance of precipitation. I'm told that the TV networks have been told that no umbrellas will be allowed into the stadium (just as umbrellas were confiscated in the 2004 Republican and Democratic National Conventions) and that if there's a thunderstorm the proceedings will be put on hold until the rain stops. A little nerve-wracking....

Lol! Say what they will about the change in venue for the Obama speech, but they are about as transparant as a sheet of Saran wrap.

Clue me in. What does an August 28 forecast (2008) have to do with tomorrow’s temp in Charlotte? What am I not getting? (aside from an excuse for changing the acceptance place because of not filling the stadium)

They claimed they moved it because of the threat of thunder and lighting. This excuss has been proven to be false.

Shep, the Fox “weather machine” and some ditzy guest Shep has on are having an empty chair lovefest. Shep is going on about how bad the weather there has been, the guest is commnting there is a lot of BS from both parties and the weather machine is saying it’s a smart move to bring the event indoors. She claims there is a chance of rain during the day and a slight chance by 9pm.
Paraphrasing: Even if there is no lightning we don’t want a chance of a stadium full of wet people.
I’d tell Shep to pound salt up his *** but he’d probably enjoy that.
