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.

I'm sure it isnt the threat of crappy weather that has them contemplating moving it....it must be that they can't get enough people. If you actually check the weather forecast for that area....well what do ya know....severe weather is indeed forecast. I'm sure the Democrats bribed the weather forecasters.

Is this from Toad's same source that said Obama was going to replace Biden before the convention? rofllol

Probably... rofllol

Well it is a good move if they think that the "empty" seats would look bad.

Uh-huh

I'll file that one with Lyin'-Ryan's marathon time....

GASP! The Messiah is afraid his that too many of his followers have lost their faith and won't attend the event in a larger forum.

Maybe the locals here can pool some cash and charter a Greyhound bus or two and get themselves to the speech? Empty seats would be a bad thing...

You've got zero credibility in the political prognostication department, so :Whatever:

If you think ANY President of the United States can't fill a 74,000 seat stadium for a historic event, you're daft.

Yeah, that's why Barry's staff has been scrambling to bus in butts to put in the seats since last week. You of course are correct because to say otherwise would be a defiant act against the Emperor.

You have a problem with letting people from outside Charlotte attend?
