GOP response to Mile High . Predictable and laughable

[Perky]

Matt Burns, communications director of the Republican National Convention, responded: "Not surprisingly, Senator Obama and his fellow Democrats are more focused on stagecraft and theatrics than providing real solutions to the challenges facing our nation. A change of venue for a political speech isn’t the kind of change the American people deserve or expect."



Ummm Hey Matt....???.......How is that Balloon Drop planning going?



Hmmm I guess we are not going to have one at all....

1. This falls under the category of MYOB. They can do what they like with their own convention. n/t

[PresidentObama]

2. He pretends the RNC and McCain aren't planning for the GOP Convention.

He's the communications director for their convention for fuck sakes.

and they wouldn’t even have to shut down the drive-thru.

Fiorina: McCain not worried about Obama stadium speech

Carly Fiorina, chairwoman of the Republican Victory 2008 committee, said Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) campaign is not concerned about Democratic rival Sen. Barack Obama’s (Ill.) plans to accept the nomination in front of 75,000 people at a Denver football stadium.

Fiorina, speaking at a breakfast with reporters hosted by The Christian Science Monitor, said McCain prefers more intimate settings, and “it isn’t much of a dialogue to have a speech in a stadium of 70,000 people.”

The Illinois senator’s campaign announced Monday that Obama will break with modern tradition and move his speech from inside the confines of the convention hall to nearby SAFECO Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver, home to the Denver Broncos football team. The stadium holds about 76,000 people.

Fiorina said the two candidates are very different, and such a speech or forum would not be fitting for McCain.

“It’s not his personality,” she said, adding, “There is no need for John McCain to try and be more like Barack Obama. In fact, I think that would be a disastrous mistake.”

"There is no need for John McCain to try and be more like Barack Obama. In fact, I think that would be a disastrous mistake.”


Heh, that lime green background, extra twitchy McCain speech was a classic example of why McCain fails when trying to make himself into the change candidate..I mean, Obama's seal was pretty bad too, but McCain's speech just matched that puke green background so perfectly.

7. What intimate dialogue can you have with ONLY Party elites anyway?

She's full of crap.

[MaineDem]

9. It's Invesco Field, you idiots!

The GOP can't even get the corporate name right.

[Hawkeye-X]

10. SAFECO???? SAFECO???

Good god, she doesn't even know where it is...

Psst, Carly, Safeco's in Seattle. Go find Mile High Stadium. I dare you.

You might just be lucky to find a piece of it at Chopper's.

(Mile High Stadium hasn't existed for about 7 years)

12. That might have been her mistake, but could also have been the journalist's. It wasn't in a quote.

[Renew Deal]

14. HP hiring Carly Fiorina was a disastrous mistake.

So she would know.

[Alter Ego]

15. Meanwhile, McBush can't fill up an Odd Fellows hall. nt

[kentuck]

16. They will automatically criticize everything he does...

hoping something - anything - will stick. Then they will hand their talking points to the media and we will hear all about it for hours on end... They are a sorry and pitiful bunch of losers.

[book_worm]

17. Jealous because they know McCain couldn't fill a stadium--he's lucky to fill a lecture hall
