Yeah, I believe that as much as I believe they've been consciously trying to have rallies and speeches at smaller venues on purposeDemocrats are poised to avoid the danger of President Barack Obama accepting his partys nomination before a partially-empty stadium by shifting his speech to an indoor arena and citing severe weather.
Um... the reason they are not giving definitive information on what the move would mean, is because that would put conflicting information out there??? WTF??? Is their definitive information somehow not really definitive???The reason that we're not releasing the details on what a move to the arena would mean until that decision is made we don't want a lot of conflicting information out there.
OOPS! Cat's out of the bagDemocratic convention sources have indicated that the contingency plan is at an advanced stage and that a move to the stadium appears certain.
It looks like a done deal to me, said one convention worker. The decisions apparently been taken and its just a matter of spinning it as being forced on us by the weather.
SO, if the delegates and such make up 1/3 of the 65,000 in the stadium, that's about 21,500... the arena they will be moving to holds about 21,000... Their will be a lot of pissed off people on buses if no one but delegates and such can get into the acceptance speech.Convention delegates, party volunteers and Democratic officials gathered in Charlotte would make up about one-third of a crowd in the Bank of America stadium, which officials have said would be 65,000 people.
