When in Rome, Act Like Visogoths

Listen, I still bet anyone a pint Obama will win in November (assuming he survives to win).

I'm just saying, the Democrats should have held their convention in Youngstown Ohio (imagine the outrage of the shrieking chrismatthews, banished to rooms in Hotel 6s in Sharon Pennsylvania). Obama should be making his acceptance speech at a high school football field with a shuttered factory behind the goalposts.

Cheap drama? Brazen demagoguery? Shazbat! Reality television, mofos. Rededicating the brand.

Impossible logistically? More impossible than electing a black man president?
