About the chance of rain in Charlotte tonight, did anyone see Howard Fineman on MSNBC?

[Stinky The Clown]

He was live on the air, soaking wet.

He got caught in a **thunderstorm** walking from his hotel to the convention!

Who could have imagined. <----- sarcasm

1. Problem is: by the time Obama speaks tonight, it may be dry.

That's all the right-wing loonies will need. It is a sickness being a Republican.

4. There is a chance of thunderstorms around 7 to 9.

It stopped raining but it is supposed to pick back up. When the weather channel says their is an over 80% chance of thunder and lightening, you have to move the venue. http://www.weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/graph/Charlotte+NC+USNC0121:1:US

You can't put people in danger for convention speeches.

10. Radar looks like wind is changing.

Another cell is coming from the north. Looks like 9 pm is about right.

2. 60% chance

According to accuweather there is a 60% chance of rain, and they said "heavy thunderstorms" this evening. The right wing talking heads have been trying to make look like there weren't enough people to fill the stadium. Chuck Todd was talking about the move this morning and "added" there was only a 30% chance of rain. I went to accuweather and even this morning they had it at 60%. All the right can do these days is lie, even about the weather!

3. The problem here is that it rains all at once...

There's no such thing as a shower; it's just a deluge when it happens. I have a parking pass inside the secure zone, and we got trapped in our. Ar by the flooding on Tuesday.

5. It's been humid as hell all week.

Pop up thunderstorms happen all the time. People would have already been lining up for security by this afternoon's storms. Old people, children, all soaking wet. Would not have been fun.

6. If it's not raining tonight ...

... they will claim we couldn't fill the stadium; if it is, they will claim god is objecting to Obama's speech. Either way they will claim it as some sort of "victory".

[central scrutinizer]

7. "I ran a marathon to the top of a fourteener in heavier rain", Paul Ryan

what wusses!

[fugop]

8. No longer matters

Other than the rw echo chamber, it's now anonstory. The mainstream media knew a decision for an event of this magnitude had to be made. It rained now. None of the saner media types will claim they could have moved once the event began.

The rains came. That's the end. For the nutjobs? They were already lost.

9. Even Piers Morgan said it was "ludicrous" to suggest President Obama couldn't fill a stadium

That dog, as they say, won't hunt.

[Evergreen Emerald]

11. Is the media faxed these stupid talking points?

Jobs report coming out...destined to destroy any momentum
Can't fill the stadium
Radically liberal ...except Clinton...cause they talked about women's rights
So so mean to Romney.


Lies, distortion, rw talking points Presented as fact.
