The O'Bomber campaign is having to give tickets away...out of town no less just to get an audience in the joint.

I suppose they already prowled all the bars in Charlotte and got no takers.

Of course, I can see their problem. Many demoscat office holders who are up for reelection aren't going to the demoscat convention. They don't want to be seen in the same state with O'Bomber...let alone in the same room.

Dems Giving Away Tickets to Obama's Speech
You need to be at Manuel's Tavern by noon Friday.

Dunwoody Democrats have a chance to see President Barack Obama's acceptance speech in person at next week's Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC.

The DeKalb Democratic Party sent out this message Thursday night.

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO CHARLOTTE AND BE THERE IN PERSON FOR THE PRESIDENTS"S ACCEPTANCE SPEECH?

In Atlanta: Manuel's Tavern, 602 N Highland Avenue NE, Atlanta, GA 30307

In Macon: Bibb County Democratic Party, 835 Forsyth St. Suite A, Macon GA 31201

Here's the rules:

Everyone who is at Manuel's Tavern or the Bibb County Democratic Party by noon is eligible for two tickets. Arrive early if you want, but it won't give you a better chance to win. Just be there by 12 noon!

If less than 50 people arrive, everyone will get a pair! If more than 50 folks arrive, we will do a random drawing to determine our winners.

There is no cost involved. We're not selling the tickets, we're giving them away.

Since we're not selling tickets, you can't sell them either! If you sell your tickets to someone else, they will be deactivated.

For planning purposes, we expect that President Obama will speak at 8pm on Thursday. To insure that you are in your seat for the speech, you should arrive at the stadium that afternoon. There will be strict security at the event.

You know, in case the weather "MIGHT" be bad on speech night.

Obama to move speech from 74,000-seat stadium to 20,000-seat arena?

That decision has not yet been made, but it certainly appears the Democrats are laying the groundwork. Due to the weather, of course (wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more)

Democrats are poised to avoid the danger of President Barack Obama accepting his party’s nomination before a partially-empty stadium by shifting his speech to an indoor arena and citing ‘severe weather’.

The Obama campaign have been working desperately to ensure that the 74,000-seater Bank of America stadium in Charlotte would be filled.

Buses for students from across North Carolina and even members of black churches in neighboring South Carolina have been arranged.

Footage of rows of empty seats at the stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, as Obama speaks on Thursday night would be politically disastrous – an enduring image of the contrast between his campaign of ‘hope’ and ‘change’ in 2008 and his dour, negative struggle for re-election in 2012.............

and it sure is a pity that some people from main street might get into the convention, isn't it? in a time of high joblessness it really is too much to let the commoners in to the circus, dontcha think? and arranging collective rides, how very communist and desperate.

next you know the lazy beggars will be expecting to vote or something outrageous like that...

JW is using the abysmally juvenile technique of mitigating the disaster of the GOP convention. Or at the very least trying to. He knows what is coming.

You know the Daily Caller kat- a few months ago, I posted their gun giveaway ad? Well, the guy who runs the Caller is all about the tweets. He says if you really want to know the pulse of political discourse you watch the tweets.

'ADD' americans move on after a few hours, and are ready for the next round. No mulling, no dissection, and little reflection. Hence the popularity of the tweet. Here, I tend to agree that this is a solid indicator---at least for a few hours...

Michelle Obama= 29,000 tweets per hour
Mitt Romney= 14,000 tweets per hour

The first lady knows how to work a room.

Mitt's smile reminds me of a tupperware lid.
~and just as plastic.

"So as a cap to four years of political hostage-taking, a final general election pitch from Republicans this year is to hold the next four years hostage as well: give us total power to begin implementing our agenda and start dismantling this silly, expensive New Deal/Great Society system and this European-style progressive tax code, or nothing at all happens. We’ll get our way eventually, so why not get started now?"Ed Kilgore

Weatherman says there's 0..Zero chance of a thunderstorm so that's a bullshiiiit excuse floated by the O'Bomber campaign.

Other possible excuses O'Bomber could have used which were just as likely to have occurred.

Fear of deadly meteor showers
Fear of al-Qaeda terrorist attack
Fear of possible Sub-arctic cold snap

Joe Scarborough is declaring Barack Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention an overwhelming victory for the president and the Democratic party.

Obama accepted the 2012 Democratic nomination Thursday night. His address received mixed reactions — most agreed that he gave a solid speech, but were not ecstatic as they were after Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton spoke.

On Friday morning, Scarborough had nothing but positive things to say about Obama's performance. "We were 10 minutes into the president's speech last night... and I just sat there thinking, 'game, set, match, the Democrats have trounced the Republicans in these conventions,'" he recalled.

He said that "Obama connected himself with the American Dream for the first time" at the convention, and that his speech was "obviously so much better than everybody at Tampa."

Scarborough continued to take shots at Romney while praising Obama's speech. "As far as substance... [Obama] said nothing but he said nothing so much better than Mitt Romney said nothing," he remarked, to the applause of the live audience.

He also threw in accolades for Michelle Obama, Joe Biden and Bill Clinton at the DNC.

No mention of O'BomberCare AND
No mention of O'Bomber's Stimulus package..which wasn't stimulus at all but pure political and financial corruption and graft.
