Team Obama should cancel the stadium speech and move it indoors

If they hadn’t gone the stadium route this time, I reckon they feared a media narrative that would go something like “see, the magic is gone.” Whereas if they filled a big stadium again they’re hoping they might get a “gee, he can still fire ’em up” narrative.

But what about empty seats? It’s a 75,000-seat stadium. All it takes is 20 empty seats for Fox at least to try to turn the thing into a disaster. I hear they have to decide today whether to move it indoors, and I am betting that they’ll accept Mother Nature’s gracious offer to seem less grandiose. Rain is a great excuse.
