From Yahoo News:
Obama moves speech indoors
Citing "severe weather forecasts," the Democratic National Convention Committee announced Wednesday that President Barack Obama would move his prime-time acceptance speech from Bank of America Stadium to a smaller, indoor venue nearby.
They'd sound more credible if they claimed Bush made it rain on their Nuremberg II.
"We have been monitoring weather
forecasts closely and several reports predict thunderstorms in the area,
therefore we have decided to move Thursday's proceedings to Time Warner
Cable Arena to ensure the safety and security of our delegates and
convention guests," DNCC CEO Steve Kerrigan said in a statement.
Republicans had questioned
whether Obama could fill the stadium's 73,778 seats (and needled
Democrats for holding their big event in a venue named for a bank
associated with unpopular Wall Street bailouts). Kerrigan's statement
said 65,000 people had signed up for "community credentials" to see the
president speak.
