Barack Obama Watch: Denver Democrat Convention to Be Cut Short for Obama Bounce?
Posted by Flap in Democrats, GOP
The rumor was floated yesterday that in order to give Barack Obama a larger post convention bounce in the polls before the following week start of the Republican Convention in Minnesota that the Democrat Convention in Denver would be cut a day short – ending on Wednesday.
This rumor has been debunked.
“I can guarantee you that’s not happening,” Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper said, adding that, unless he hasn’t been told about it, discussions Wednesday with officials from the Democratic National Convention Committee and the Obama campaign indicated both camps were planning for a full convention Aug. 25-28.
And, why would Team Obama EVER entertain such an idea?
Team McCain WILL announce the Republican Vice President nomination as soon as the Democrat Convention ends, immediatley proceeding the GOP Convention. Cutting the Democrat Convention short gives McCain and the GOP an extra day to hype their ticket.
Another Howard Dean staff screw up?
