Change of Venue?

Posted: Sep 4, 2012

Looks like contingency plans are being made for the nomination speech.... (See link)

I heard that too - claim it's weather related, but

suspect it's to hide the empty seats they're having trouble filling. It's all image control.

Gee, I bet you're right. - Whodathunkit

Yeah, they totally arranged for the thunderstorms that are coming in this week. Yeah. They're powerful like that.

Looks like some nasty wet weather now. - VTMT

I originally thought it was a covered venue.

So it's a better idea to put 65,000 folks out in the rain - without umbrellas to prove

they can fill a stadium and maintain an "image? Sorry. That's not Team Obama's style.

Here's the real scoop. The move indoors is a weather-related CONTINGENCY plan B they made ahead of time, unlike the R-team who had to come up with an ad hoc busing alternative when their original transport scheme allegedly went awry. BofA outdoor stadium has standing security protocols that do not allow for fans to bring umbrellas, so any chances the campaign would make on the weather could easily end up drenching 10s of thousands of people to the bone. Weather Underground puts rain chances at 60% Wed night and 40% for Thursday, so far. Safety and health come first, which is as it should be.

Though the stadium has a 70,000 capacity, plans are to only fill 65,000 for unclear reasons, which I suspect are security related. In terms of anticipated attendance, here's a little side story. Volunteers who pledged to donate their time to the campaign are being offered free tickets. The ticket pick-up lines for the volunteers alone have been more than half-a-mile long in some locations.

If the speech were to be moved indoors, they would have to turn away people by the thousands who have donated both time and money, not to mention having traveled from neighboring states to get there. That makes the move to a smaller venue a last resort, IMO, and not a decision they will be taking lightly over some stupid invented notion that they are worried about images.

Speaking of images and contingencies, what was that - roll call rules change all about?

What started out as an attempt to reflect the IMAGE of party "unity" quickly descended into a hidden floor fight, complete with physical bullying and brawling, just as soon as the GOP broke out ITS mid-stream game-changing rules "contingency" plan to suppress THEIR OWN PARTY'S VOTES. Karma is soooooo awesome.

I watched this film on HBO last weekend. Somebody obviously does not like Sarah Palin!!! They certainly made her to appear very ignorant and stubborn with campaign manager, Steve Schmidt. Evidently John McCain did not like they way they portrayed Palin on film either. He says he does not plan on viewing this film, as it is an assault on her character. I am certainly not a fan of Sarah Palin, but feel disturbed after watching this. This just tears her apart -- ...

People will say just about anything to get you to see things their way, but as it is said, the proof is in the pudding. When the actions are not congruent with the words, you know you've been fooled. The question is, do you learn and change, or do you fall into the same pit all over again? How do you spell integrity? Is manipulation love? ...

, January 19, 2013 Barack and Michelle Obama have spent more than a thousand days on display before the nation’s eyes, but the personal changes they have undergone can be hard to detect. Up close, though, those who know the Obamas say they can see an accumulation of small shifts in the president and the first lady since they walked the inaugural parade route four years ago. The man who wanted to change the nature of Washington now warns job candidates that it is hard to get any ...

Just seeing an article on TV where saying good to have children do chores around the house and rather than giving them money, to set certain prices for doing 1 chore as opposed to the other. Say the child feeds the dog, 25 cents a day or does dusting, 25 cents a day. Just wondering if any one here has done things this way instead of just a handout and if so, what did you set up and how did you work this. We are talking past the toddler set and before they leave home age. ...

This morning I attended a meeting at the hospital where I work regarding our 2014 benefits. Yes, I have insurance through my employer, and yes, I am happy with it, but imagine my surprise when I found out how much the cost of my coverage will increase for 2014 because we are self insured and our hospital was levied a fee of 1,000,000 dollars (yup, one million dollars) for fiscal 2014 to help fund the exchanges. Of course, guess who pays that? Yes, all of employees. so tha ...

I suppose some will think this belongs on the Faith Board, but it is also a political issue. I am so sick of hearing about climate change and all that we can do as human beings about it. These politicians should read their Bible; that is if they even own one, and they would soon discover that man did not create this world and man is not going to change what God made. There has been climate change since the beginning of time and just because we, who are now living in these times ...

I do not understand how living in a country with its democracy established over 200 years ago, and now, for the first time in history, suddenly we have one of our former presidents set up a group called "Organizing for Action" - (OFA). OFA - 30,000 strong working to disrupt everything that our current president is trying to do. This goes against our Democracy, it is an operation that will destroy our way of governing. It goes against our Constitution, our laws, and the processes establishe ...

I would think that with record tornados, hurricanes, snow falls, temperatures, polar ice cap melting, everyone would be willing to work toward a solution. All I see is corporations wanting to do more drilling, fracking, polluting and deregulating, and people wanting cheap fuel and goods at any cost. ...

I got married in October and am just now getting around to doing all the legalities for the formal name change (just a bit late, lol!). Now that I have the certificate in my hot little hands, is the best place to start everything at the DMV with my driver's license, then to the bank, the Social Security office, etc? Is there any particular order I need to do this in? I know I need to FAX the certificate to my employer so they can legally change the name on payroll, email, etc., ...

First, don't jump on me because I don't really care about the location change or why it was made, but Juan Williams stated last night on Fox news that it was indeed because they could not be sure of getting enough people to fill the stadium. I don't think that necessarily means there were not enough people wanting to attend, but some people were probably backing out themselves because of the possibility of bad weather, the travel, and maybe just in general for one reason ...

This is no time to decentralize and throw all the states on their own. Are these guys' brains engaged, or is states-right ideology being applied where the most basic common sense says it doesn't belong? This is just the beginning. Climate change means many more and worse natural disasters of the sort we are seeing right now and many others. FEMA's job is specifically to COORDINATE responses to diisasters too big for the resources of individual states. When 1000-mile-wid ...
