[Gato Moteado]

the crowd looks bored. many vacant seats.

it's the total opposite of the dem convention.

[NV Whino]

1. It's all that hard partying after the speeches.

Just wears out all those pasty white folks.

[Gato Moteado]

3. i've never seen a blander, whiter, unenthusiastic crowd......

....all that dumb white trash in one building.

[Olney Blue]

2. Meg Whitman, founder of e-bay is speaking and she is as inspirational

as a turnip.

I will NEVER, ever, ever use e-bay after learning she is a republican.

[Gato Moteado]

4. god, she was dull

when they panned the crowd did you notice how most of the women looked like laura bush?

[Olney Blue]

8. So the sheep cloning program was a success.

[Gato Moteado]

5. god, she was dull

15. Their can't be enough upholstery fabric in the world.

[yardwork]

11. Is she still involved with ebay?

[anigbrowl]

12. No. They kicked her out. Like Carly Fiorina from HP.

[yardwork]

14. This convention is filled with winners, ain't it?

[HughBeaumont]

17. Ex-CEO Free trade advocates, Fearmongers, warmongers, Creationists, Rapture Rightists . . .

Guys, the tent doesn't get any stupider than this.

[Raine]

13. I don't think so

but I can't say for sure. It seems like I heard sometime earlier this year that the ones who now head up ebay give to Democrats. I can't substansitate that though. It just seems like I heard it and was really glad because I was doing lots of business with ebay at the time.

[AlCzervik]

6. i'm sure that when the red meat throwers come up they'll be all a twitter.

[zbdent]

7. Okay, so you said that the commentators were asleep ...

what about the 10 or 12 attendees?

[zulchzulu]

9. Some awful dancers too...holy shit! n/t

[Raine]

10. Give them a break they been putting in long nights

with all those prostitutes that came to town for them.

[OneGrassRoot]

16. psssst.....

I think they bugged out of the convention and infiltrating DU.

Tons of trolls coming out of the woodwork; more fun for them than being at, or tuning into, their convention.

:rofl:

Can't blame them though, it looks anemic (in many ways) and boring as hell.

It's a whack-a-mole kinda night for the mods.

:)

[ITsec]

18. Would YOU be able to stay awake through that crap?

Holy Bejeezhuz....

[Whisp]

19. i think CNN isn't using the same sound system as they did for the DNC

I've noticed that the crowd sounds tonight are much much louder for a much much lesser audience number.
This was not the way the sound was handled for Obama's acceptance speech at all - 80,000 screaming people would have busted their mikes if it was done the same as today. Instead we got a nice clear sound from the speakers, sure, but the crowd was mostly drowned out.

fuckers.
