Is the GOP convention only about 75% full?

[Puzzler]

I keep seeing large sections of empty seats. Have they been having trouble filling the venue? I'm wondering why CNN hasn't mentioned this "little" fact ;)

1. Because CNN is an arm of the RNC.

So it is not anything that they would point out. Instead, they would have to "explain" it instead....which they did; Gustav!

2. the Security guards and hookers nearly outnumbered the delegates

It was a shallow convention...all bluster...huff and puff crap....

Country first my ass...McAmbition is in it for himself...screw country and Patriotism...

5. In all fairness....

...they saw who was on the bill tonight.

Buxh, Thompson, and Lieberman couldn't draw a crowd if they offered free beer and cowboy hats.

...It looks like maybe they did offer the hats after all.

8. MSNBC Mentioned

MSNBC mentioned the venue was MUCH smaller then Denver because the GOP wanted to look as full as the Democratic Convention. So far they have not succeeded.

Maybe tonight when their rock star speaks.
