Who put the smackdown on the Republican Party Chairman?
Who Got To Triantafilou?

18 Aug 2008 11:39 am

Alex M. Triantafilou, the chairman of the Hamilton Co., Republican Party, wrote on his blog yesterday that McCain would be in Dayton, Ohio on August 29 -- the day after the Democratic convention ends -- and was looking for a "big" venue.

"Sen. McCain is expected to host a rally on August 29 in Dayton and is looking for a BIG venue and for a BIG crowd. He'll get it. This is not yet public. I guess I just made it so."

That was yesterday.

Today, that sentence has disappeared from the site...

1. Reality, perhaps?
Can he really fill a "big venue"?

3. If, by "big venue" you mean a church basement or a local Oddfellows hall, then the answer is "yes."

2. I assume someone called him to not spoil the surprise, just in case they can't...
produce the numbers. If I was going to organize a mass GOP rally, I might go for San Diego or Atlanta. Daytonites might be a little hardpressed to turn out in droves for the Republicans right about now.
