    Good idea.
    Perhaps they could have a matinee and a midnight showing for the 50,000 or so disappointed fans who’ll have to be turned away, otherwise.

    Wait … all this enlightened elite Progressive management expertise, all this belief in settled climate science, all this gov’t-run meteorological services, all this techno-savvy internet inventiveness, and they forgot about the vagaries of the frikkin’ weather ?
    (What? BS? Yeah, could be that.)

    Oh, the huge matinee!

    The planning of this convention has been like their campaigning they have to keep walking things back . Their statements were either taken out of context (the next expression that should be banned) or they act like victims when asked a question they don’t want to answer. Forward!!! Unless it rains or I get caught in a lie.

    the chance of rain in charlotte tomorrow night is currently 30% (according to weatherchannel.com) way too risky for the man who killed obama

    So now the question isn’t where to find enough butts asses to fill the empty chairs in the big stadium, it’s where to find enough to fill the ones in small one….

    …. Oh look! There goes one now!

    Weatherman asks reasonable question.

    Same standard as any other event?

    The 50,000 promised (bused in) who won’t get to see teh 0ne get a conference call. If they have phones with enough minutes.

    HUGE rally Thursday night at BoA stadium: Trump,Eastwood, Hank Williams, and Ted Nugent to headline
    one man’s opinion…

    Posted on Wednesday, September 05, 2012 8:00:53 AM by ken5050

    Seizing on the opportunity offered by the Dem’s last minute decision to move Obama’s acceptance speech indoors Thursday night, Donald Trump, various Tea Party groups, and other conservative organizations quickly announced that they had rented the now-suddenly-available Bank of America stadium for a rally Thursday evening, and expected to fill the stadium to capacity.

    Arrangements are still being finalized, but reliable sources have said that Clint Eastwood, Hank Williams Jr, and Ted Nugent would headline the show.

    Looks like a total scam to cover up the bazillion potential empty seats
    (chairs?) in the 74,000 seat stadium!
    Why would I think this? try this for starters:

    No Nuge at BoA. It seems it was a commenter’s wishfull thinking in free republic.

    ColJ (9) & DougM (12), ’bout that Freeper post!

    http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2926895/posts

    Well written but unfortunately not gonna happen! But I wish the R&R
    campaigns & RNC would put out some blurbs like that Freeper post!
    The least they could do is make a buncha calls to see if the stadium’s
    available Thursday evening!
    It would so screw with the dems heads, they’d ‘splode!

    I am hoping the repubs will splash pics & vids of that empty stadium
    all over the innertoobz during Obozo’s speech. Also how much extra
    the cash-strapped DNC has to pay for the smaller venue in addition
    to the BofA statium they’d already booked!

    Sh*t!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Maybe I’ll still go.
    Have empty chair, will travel.
    Now, where’d I put my Breitbart mask?

    Hey, after all, it’s National Empty Stadium Day.

    ^^ Doug that sounds like a great idea. Sit in one chair with your mask on and have an empty one next to you. ^^ You could have a sign saying what Obama should do to him self. Nah that wouldn’t be nice.

    DougM, you just invented a new national holiday!
    National Empty Stadium Day.
    Rebubs happy all day & BBQ’s, play in the parks, sing songs, etc.
    Dumbocraps, stay inside & curse repubs all day, drink & weep, etc.
    We could leave the ‘empty chairs’ out until Sep 5th, then everbuddy
    take ‘em to the park & arrange them like an ‘empty stadium’!
    Then flags, honor guards, pledge of allegiance & patriotic songs.
    Sumpin’ for everbuddy! ?-Porch prize for DougM!

    Claire, ppwck, I like your alluding to ‘Lightning’!
    With all the lies they’ve told, plus planning to tell, some of them
    might fear a ‘heavenly retribution’ & just might be ‘playing it safe!

    Not original, ‘mafraid.
    I recall seeing #emptystadiumday somewhere.
    Can’t remember where, though,
    and I’m not goin’ back through all of my morning surfin’ to find it.

    Posted September 5, 2012 at 3:33 pm |

    DougM, Yeah, but I tried!
    It’s better to try & be aced than not to have tried at all!
    ‘Sides, I did my proclamation in Italics plus
    Bold
    !

    I’m hoping some of our innovative bumper sticker printers
    start printing plastic signs that can be put in a big pocket
    or purse, then unfold to put on an empty seat next to you
    in a public place announcing the ‘empty chair, reserved
    for Clint Eastwood’s guest’ or some similar pithy phrase.
    And prolly with an R&R logo on it!

    ^ No, I meant that my use of it wasn’t original.
    Sorry for the misunderstanding. Usually, I include a citation or something.
    Maybe I misunderstood what you said.
    (What? Well, it could happen.)
