Seeing should not be Believing
The Obama rally, as seen on TV:
The Obama rally as seen from the other end of Reynolds:
Gene, the “empty” space is filled with well organized press tables. There is a riser in front of the podium and it is filled with people.
The Townhall Ham wrote: I realize it's standard practice to rope off an area of a venue for crowd-wrangling and appearances, but this is a little drastic.
Did the Obama people choose this hall to accommodate all the press and cameras and lights? Is this exactly the venue they needed for this event? The tables are pretty well laid out and the temporary stands took some time to erect. So someone somewhere planned exactly what we see in the picture. A made for TV setting of a candidate’s victory speech with enough space for 2 or 3 thousand people to cheer at 9:30 on a week night.
Ham says she was there and she says it is standard practice. She offers an opinion that it is a little drastic.
It looks just like a dozen pol events I have been to.
Wouldn’t you like to see a photo from earlier in the day, Obama spoke around 9:30 or 10 o’clock local time on a school night and the race was called much earlier in that evening.
I understand that you are predisposed to recoil from everything B. Hussein but this is weak, even for you.
Anyhoo
How ya doing out there? Get the global warming yet? We got some rain last night and our typical June Gloom typically arrived early this year. We had to forfeit our championship game because we didn’t have enough players. One guy got married and two had scheduled family vacations. We had two games postponed during the season and that pushed the finals two weeks back as well. The team that eventually won …we beat them twice by 20 or more during the season. Oh well…that how the cookie crumbles.
