CHARLOTTE, N.C. – College students from across North Carolina will arrive in Charlotte by the busload. Same with members of predominantly black churches in neighboring South Carolina.

Their goal: help fill a 74,000-seat outdoor stadium to capacity when President Obama accepts the Democratic nomination Thursday night.

Anything short of a full house on the final night of the Democratic Party's national convention will be instant fodder for Republicans eager to use empty seats as symbols of waning voter enthusiasm for Obama.

Typical lib-dem image-strategy antics, to fill-up a largely-deserted stadium, which no one with a functioning brain, wants to attend. Anything to make ∅bummer look good. Oooops, "functioning brain"? Heck, that omits 96-98% of the circlefest attendees.

Because they have to.

Be sure to tell all the “rich kids” that they have to sit in the BACK OF THE BUS!

[popdonnelly]

Dictators like big shows.

[HangThemHigh]

Are they paying them to attend (yet)?

Why not load up all the welfare recipients? That ought to fill the stadium to overflowing. It may not be a very diverse crowd, but at night, it may work.

Any Freepers in N.C. able to get in and stage a protest? Heckle him? Laugh at him?

How about fill a huge section and then leave so there is nothing but empty chairs!

[Fresh Wind]

Pray for rain.

[Uncle Chip]

They clearly don’t want to see anymore “empty chairs”.

[Cyclops08]

I wonder if tax dollars will be used to bus in all these people.

Forecasts indicate a 50% chance of thunderstorms Thursday.

The campaign says the size of Obama's events this summer have purposely been kept low. Large rallies are more expensive and security requirements are more intense for a sitting president than a candidate.

BS .... he's been going to colleges and areas where the crowds are predominantly black to get decent crowds for the camera. As for Charlotte, I would like nothing better than to see a stadium full of RATS huddled under their rain gear in a downpour, while The Won, who thinks he can slow the rise of the oceans, gets his butt whipped by Mother Nature.

Can hear 0bama chanting, "Fill Them Chairs, Fill Them Chairs" to the dnc.

Ah the people don't want to come, mr. _resident.

"Okay, Buy Me a mob, Buy Me a mob!"

What about the damage to the environment caused by all the unnecessary buses?

[missnry]

Same with members of predominantly black churches in neighboring South Carolina.

Be sure the black churches get the information on how the federal laws will be changed making it mandatory to perform homosexual marriages in their churches. (Barack will have more flexibility after the election!)

I wonder what the seat warmers get in return?
