Sure, Democrats had some spokespeople wandering around Tampa, Fla. But Republicans plan to bracket Democrats’ Charlotte, N.C., convention with an unprecedented counter-convention right outside the gates of the Time Warner Cable Arena, where Democrats will gather after Labor Day.
As many as 50 “communicators” will travel straight from the Republican convention, which wrapped up Tuesday in Tampa, up to Charlotte, where Democrats kick off their convention in earnest on Tuesday, according to a plan provided to ABC News.
Primetime speakers from the Republican event who will travel up to Charlotte include RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, and Govs. Nikki Haley of South Carolina and Mary Fallin of Oklahoma. They’ll hone in on a theme – “Obama Isn’t Working” – and offer rapid response, daily videos to counter the Democrats’ message.
It will be an effort full of gimmicks, including a Romney-Ryan NASCAR race car – number 12 for 2012, of course.
And while Democrats have happily made light of Mitt Romney’s “Etch A Sketch” foible, Republicans will bring their own toys, including “You Build It” Legos and “You Build It” Monopoly.
...and watch the Wingnuts of the GOP further make idiots out of themselves:

Republicans Plan Counter-Convention in Charlotte, NC - ABC News
So how many cons on here really think those little gimmicks are actually gonna work?
Wow! how pathetic will Republicans look?
Update: The DNC points out they had a robust counter-convention of their own. In no particular order, according to a DNC official, getting the Democratic message out at the Republican convention they had a plane, a satellite truck, an office steps from the perimeter, full campaign support, 40 staffers, four press conferences, the Democratic National Committee chair, the Democratic Governors Association Chair, a senator, a governor, house members, and bus tours in three states.

The Republicans are retaliating. The Dems broke protocol first. What happened was the RNC overheard the Secret Service talking about Biden's trip to Tampa and flipped.
You don't do that. But the Dems did.
The RNC weren't going to take the DNC's shit. Obviously made good their promise.
I'll get the link. I think I read it at Buzzfeed.
It's time for each party to grow up and have some class. Let each other have their week in the sun to show their wares.
The Democrats aren't worried. If you don't spend your convention lying and pouting, you don't have to worry about people reporting on it.
The Democrats are going to run a positive convention, and I think that's what has the Republicans so worried, knowing that their overwhelmingly negative convention is going to look so bad in comparison. So Republicans will try again to drag things into the mud, but the Democrats won't take the bait, and that will enrage the Republicans more.
