It looks so empty. I heard that the local police are slow boating it through the door.

6. CNN reported parking is a problem because ,,,

People can't park in the parking lot that sports fans are usually allotted.
It could be for security reasons, or it could be deliberate (lots of loyal Repubs in Denver) to make it harder for people to get in on time.

Remember the '04 Presidential election in Ohio: People waited in line for hours -- some for 7 & 8 hours -- to vote because there were too few voting machines, primarily in minority districts. And now we know that the computers were rigged with a program that dropped thousands of votes as they were being transmitted to the main tabulation terminal.

4. I'd rather they are careful about screening. Don't worry, it'll be a packed house when Obama speaks.
