Obama campaign: We’ll fill all 73,000 seats for his acceptance speech

But the Obama campaign says it’s got it covered, and that all 73,778 of the stadium’s seats will be spoken for. The campaign also insists this success will showcase a ground operation that will help Obama win North Carolina for a second cycle in a row this November.

“We’re confident we’ll be full,” Jen Psaki, the traveling Obama press secretary, told The Hill late last week. “We have a great ground operation in North Carolina and we’ve registered more voters than any other state.

Most of the Obama Campaign???

Then they’ll have to move it into one of the local high school auditoriums and boy won’t that look packed.

So the GOP has a Reagan hologram and the Democrats have make-a-stadium-look-full hologram.

Awesome.

Ha! Even Larry Kissell who represents the 8th Congressional District in N.C. (where Charlotte is located) hasn’t endorsed Obama and won’t attend the convention either. Can’t say I blame the guy…being around stupid people in large groups isn’t my idea of a good time either.

“We’re confident we’ll be full,” Jen Psaki, the traveling Obama press secretary, told The Hill late last week, “no matter what it costs!” “We have a great ground operation in North Carolina and we’ve registered more voters than any other state; so what if half of them are already dead?”
