12. Joe Scarborough said 10 minutes ago: "The place looked deserted compared to last night."
He said rows and rows of seats were empty. :smoke:

18. And even last night, it didn't look as though all the seats were filled..
And that arena doesn't even look as big as the Pepsi Center, let alone Invesco Field. :D And this is the night their NOMINEE is speaking?

13. It seems like they don't pay much attention to their own speakers
when they show the talking heads like Blitzer there is always a mob standing behind him more interested in the reporters than hearing the speakers. That's a big difference from the Democratic Convention where the people there were more interested in the speakers. Of course if I was in their audience I wouldn't want to hear those speakers either. x(

21. Naw... U.S. Open!! Been Watching Every Day... Missed Caribou Mom Last Night!
Some GREAT tennis is being played. Just checking in, love Djokovic and love Roddick and they are playing each other... I've got the Heebie-Jeebies so came in here. I get SOOOOOOO nervous!

Novak had TWO 5-setters and Roddick blew away his last match like lightening! Wish they BOTH could win!

Back to tennis... I'm sure I can check in here to see the raves or rants!

16. I briefly turned on Michelle Bachman
and she was on a mini-rant about people standing there with their backs turned to the stage.

Any clue what that was about?

22. Now if McCain were a strong candidate would this happen?
If this were Reagan up there the place would be standing room only. To me this speaks volumes about the state of their party and their true chances in November.

30. My neighbor is unhappy. He called me this afternoon sounding dismal
I asked him what was wrong and he said "I'm covering the RNC". I could hear hundreds of voices and Souza playing in the background. Poor guy is a journalist for a British news service and has been traveling since the week before the DNC. What a crappy way to end nearly a month on the road, eh? I'll be interested to get his impressions when he returns.
