More likely if they'd have held it outdoors, Obama's bulls**t would have attracted more flies than they could have handled.

There were over 65,000 tickets and credentials given out.

LOL..so he went from a 65K seat place to a 19K place and all because of weather concerns ?
I just went to weather.com and looked at the 10 day forecast for Charlotte..86 degrees with a 40% chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon.

I don't know where his handlers are getting their forecasts from though; they seem to think there will be "severe" weather conditions.

I've seen it rain in Texas as bad as it has every afternoon this week in Charlotte....

Actually no, the Dems suspended giving out tickets before the convention even began.

There had been media speculation, particularly among Obama critics, that Democrats could have trouble filling the larger stadium, though campaign officials said they weren't worried and ticket distribution was suspended before the convention began.

A smaller venue looks better on TV. Fills up the screen with lots of Obamabots grinning heads bouncing around. LOL

That doesn't negate the fact that those ticket holders had better things to do.

You can give away tickets 'til the cows come home, but if nobody likes you, they ain't gonna come to your party.
