Obama accepting of the party nomination may be moved.  Weather would be the excuse but a fear of empty seats as a backdrop the real reason.  We'll see soon enough.

Apparently they couldn't find enough Blacks in North Carolina interested in his agenda willing to ride a bus for hours on end.
It still amazes me to hear people say "If He's Elected", as if he has a snowflakes chance in Hell.

They can build sand sculptures in the rain why not thier messiah's acceptance speech. Oh well indoors it is.

Seems to me like he could get one of his Hollywood special effects buddies to fill in the empty seats.

In retrospect, maybe coming out for gay marriage when your party's convention is to be held in a state that just reaffirmed traditional marriage wasn't such a good idea.

It's funny, I was just looking at delegates, and the LGBT gang is boasting biggest turnout in DNC history.
Now how well does this bode with other groups that don't accept this?
I mean, if they keep growing within the party, they will ostracize another that will be shrinking.

Can the Dims really afford any one single group to get a stronger voice than another group?
But looking at the representation, the balance is a very precarious one, a balance that simply can't be kept any longer, something has to give.
Notice the White Americans, they have a voice as well...NOT!!!

He'll have an absolute wizard in the TV control rooms, switching between two cameras and not the usual dozen, showing the same addled boyhood Bolshevik and the same Code Pink "We-Don't-Objectify-Women-by-Wearing-Pink-Vulvas" toothless harpies.

Reminds me of OWS, with a bunch of disparate groups only united by hatred of capitalism and Western culture.

Alliances founded on hatred are seldom successful.

Yep, and the whole thing is finally unraveling, come Nov, it'll all fall apart.

Yea, that's a bunch of right-wing media spin and its a complete lie - don't be so gullible.   I live about 5 minutes outside of uptown Charlotte, and work in city center - this place is insane with people, and there are thousands who are going to be turned away from the speech because of the smaller venue.   I can also tell you the weather isn't so great here - have you forgotten the hurricane that hit the RNC?  We're still getting the remnants.

There are literally dozens and dozens of buses parked in rows up down the bus lane on one of the highway/interstates into town (from my side - I haven't seen the rest).  Four-six miles worth.

I'm glad to see all those buses parked in Charlotte...that means they had to bus people in from...well... everywhere to fill all the seats. The licnese plates on those busses will tell from where.

This should be good pratice for when the socialist party of dishonesty
tries to steal another election by the third world style practise of bussing in voters from different jurisdictions to double down on the ballot count.

They had to bus people in from colleges and the inner city in Atlanta.

Sorry.
