What would be the practical impact of rescheduling a convention?

I mean, you've got caterers, air plane reservations, hotel room bookings... not to mention the number of people who wouldn't be able to show up for a rescheduled convention. How would they actually pull it off?

For all the above, plus all the contracts that have been signed. Food ordered. Flowers ordered. Media scheduled. Electronics and cabling. Police and city personnel. I can't even begin to cover all the elements.

:evilgrin:

Doesn't seem too impossible...

Thanks!

Don't forget the actual hall they're renting, plus the stage sets, sound equipment, etc. Let's hope they postpone to put a dent in their finances. (Though, for the record, I want no one to be hurt in Gustav if it postpones the convention.)

...in one of McSame's houses.

Smush and the Dick could get mysteriously busy and unable to be seen in public with McCain. Wouldn't that be just so awful for him..

...in one of McSame's houses.

on McCain's million-dollar parking lot. Might be cheaper.

They could lose a lot of money doing that. What would be the impact of doing this...

Wild to host BLUE Jackets on Sept. 24...

just sayin' :)

GO WILD GO!! LOL

Not to mention the horrible press.

The spending cap kicks in as soon as McCain is officially nominated.

They could help pack sandbags between speeches and make sure that bottled hot water is delivered to dehydrated babies.

and I don't think it will.

The convention center could be booked from now until November. They have already started building the stage and installing the light and sound system. Delegates have already purchased their tickets and booked their hotels. Any flyers/brochures with the date on it would need to be changed. Vendors have probably already started shipping their material to the site, caterers have already ordered the food...I just don't see how it can realistically be postponed at this point.

If they manage to postpone it, they'll lose a TON of money on the work already done and end up spending more on the new event because everything would have to be done much faster.

People will stop talking about Obama and his speech and start talking about whether or not the republican convention will go on. then when it does, people who would not other wise watch it will tune in to see if they can carry it off. JMHO

they needed to have it last year because this year they are toast.

Just like their disposable vehicles in Iraq. Just burn em up and get new ones. :eyes:

teleconference or have a candidate committee make appoints just before state deadlines to get on ballot. Something fowl is a foot.

I am betting they had to put down deposits on everything already too. If they canceled, they'd lose a shitload of money. So they're basically gonna have to do what Republicans do best, stay the course on a stupid fucking decision.

For example, the Minnesota Twins are currently on a 14-game roadtrip to accomodate the GOP schedule. If the Repubs try for a later date, the Twin Cities will be a mess.

how many really really ticked off people there would be.

And they can fly all of the delegates their various houses. I'm sure they will all fit.

for about 100 people, all I can say is:
