There was an article posted here that had them giving away tickets as far as Atlanta, GA.
The very fact that the “Obama” campaign has to state that they will fill the stadium seats with supporters is proof that they have had to resort to passing out thousands of “free” seat tickets to the “Obama Stash” loyalists. I believe the DNC in Charlotte, NC will be boring and passe. I also believe that very few people and voters will be tuning in whether via TV or the internet, etc. We shall see!!!
By having to make a headline statement like that, one would necessarily have to assume there was a real problem in getting the job done beforehand.
Maybe they will use the Jedi mind trick from the Superdome and wrap the blue seats with a random array of different colored trash bags to create the illusion from a distance that the place is full.
They did the same to the lower tier of seats at Daytona and when viewing the in-car camera recordings from my customers, it really looks like the lower stands are full even though the stands were empty for an SCCA non-spectator race. I didn’t notice it but the wife of the driver saw it immediately.
Filling the stadium isn’t good enough.
Unless there are folks lined up outside who are unable to get in the filled stadium, the event is a failure.
I wonder how those highbrow liberals will be able to put up with standing or sitting next to all those smelly street people or occupy people?
Here’s some better stuff from the referenced link at gateway.
Florida Family Association sent out an email alert on August 29, 2012 which reported the following two sub headlines:
“DNC approves Jumah for 20,000 Muslims.” “RNC adopts anti-Sharia plank at convention.”
The email alert and Floridafamily.org website provided a link to the DNC web site calendar of events which at that time and up until yesterday afternoon included the Juma event, which the original DNC website listed as an “official function.”
However, since then, the Jumah event was removed from the DNC web site calendar, and there is no reference at all to the event. A supporter noted in an e-mail, “It was still there 5.30 PM on 8/30/2012 and at 6.30 PM it was gone! I looked everywhere but it’s not listed anymore.”
(See video at the bottom of the page here.)
Not only has all trace of the Jumah been deleted from the DNC webiste, the Jumah was slated to be held today, far from the DNC, at a location seven miles from the Convention Center.
One can only speculate on the kind of pressure that was exerted on the DNC to disassociate itself from the Jumah. Prior to the cleansing of the DNC website, it was announced by the that Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the president of the U.S. bishops’ conference and, some think, in line to be considered to succeed Pope Benedictus XVI, had been refused the opportunity to give the closing benediction at the DNC, as he did at the RNC.
The group sponsoring the assembly is far from the mainstream Muslm community. The Grand Imam for the Jumah will be Siraj Wahhaj, Imam of the al Taqwa Mosque in Brooklyn, who was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade center bombings. He is well known for his ability to be considered ‘moderate’ by much of the media, on the one hand, and for his inflammatory statements, such as the one he once gave in a speech, when he said that it was his “duty and our duty as Muslims to replace the U.S. Constitution with the Quran.”
Both Wahhaj and Jibril Hough, who is associated with the “Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs” and a co-leader of the event, are heavily involved in the separatist American Islamist movement. </i>
"In fact, we've registered more voters than there are voters in the state. It's like a miracle or something!"
I saw somewhere the 20,000 was more like a couple of hundred(?) ..... it also looks like the DNC changing their mind and having Cardinal Dolan pray could be interesting ....

Giving away free tickets and food again? Or is it to be cigarettes and alcohol?
LOL.
The balloon drop should be a hoot, inflatable audience and balloons. I am reminded of the automatic pilot scene in “Airplane!.” Picture Andrea Mitchell less annoyed than she was after Palins Speech.
Should be fun.
So THAT’S where Charlotte is putting all of their homeless.
There was recent news the homeless were gonna be kicked outta town for the DNC.
“Busing in union thugs?”
Nah. Every wino in North Carolina. Only cost a few truckloads of Thunderbird.
Organizers of “Jumah at the 2012 DNC” had expected up to 20,000 Muslims from across the country to pray on the first day of a three-day cultural event. But only a couple of hundred unfolded chairs to sit in the park’s shade.
“This is much more than a prayer service,” Dr. Zudhi Jasser, a Muslim physician from Arizona and a conservative political ally of North Carolina’s former Republican U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick, said before Friday’s event. . “It’s not about Muslim. It’s Islamists,” said Jasser, president of the Arizona-based American Islamic Forum for Democracy. “These guys are like the (Muslim) Brotherhood. What happens in America is that most people aren’t able to tell the difference between regular Muslims and those that are part of a political movement.
Jumah in Full Bloom - An Islamic Festival to Jump Start the DNC
I don’t think so. They won’t cheer, cry, and faint on cue like his supporters.
Sounds like it will be even easier for some patriots to infiltrate the event. Just sayin’.
Racist! No hoodies or tats! /s
Instead of balloons, 0bama money will be dropped from above after his acceptance speech.
It’s all about an image. Obama with a stadium filled with people cheering him on. It’s all just smoke and mirrors. As if the people who don’t like the job he’s done will someone think “gee a lot of people still love and trust him, I guess I should too.”
lol
