The GOP convention opens on Labor Day!

[book_worm]

The traditional opening of the general campaign season. That's pretty late to have the convention. I'm sure Obama will want to be attending some Labor Day rallies and picnics and not forfeiting the day to McCain and company. It seems a strange day to start the convention. People will be just getting back from vacation or picnics and kids with their parents will be preparing (in many states) to going back to school the next day.

1. You mean people aren't going to be completely enthused for McGramps?

2. Cancel the picnics, BBQs, fishing trips, and golf games!!!

Let's all stay home and watch the GOP convention on the TEEVEEE... because McCain's acceptance speech will be a lot more fun!!!

:sarcasm:

3. Not only that... McCain's acceptance speech is at the same time as the NFL opening game of the seasn

5. I'm sure the terror attacks earlier that week will cancel the NFL games

It's already been green lighted by McLame and everything is on schedule.

Coming soon to a train station near you!

6. Last I heard, they are working to correct that.........by pressuring the NFL to move gametime. nt

4. Labor Day? Oh, the irony.

We should rename it this year to "No More Labor for You and Lower Wages Too!" Day.
