Ummm... Reince and Co. - we had 19k on a wait list to sit in that stadium

http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/09/dems-scoff-at-gop-taunts-that-obama-couldnt-fill-stadium.php

More than 65,000 community members had activated community credentials to attend the event, and another 19,000 people were on a waiting list for the event. Democratic officials said they expected the lion’s share of those with credentials to attend, because they had to go through a multi-step process that involved visiting a campaign office, and later activating a code using a computer or mobile device, to show that they were serious about attending.

the country to watch together on stadium screens. That would be huge to see people gathered around the nation watching the big screen and the POTUS.

But this is no different from their efforts to keep their own convention out of Isaac's path.

had ignored any weather threat and anything happened they would have said his ego got in the way. Hell, if he didn't move it (before anything could happen) they would have said he was being irresponsible, it doesn't matter, he's always in a not win situation with them.

Fuck 'em.

And I like David Shuster but his tweet about Obama not being able to fill the stadium had no facts to back it up. I have no idea why he tweeted that.
