Cloud Hanging Over BHO's Coronation...................by Dan Friedman

Earlier in the week, Fox News reported Dems Busing in Crowds to Fill Stadium for Obama Speech. “Democrats have been fretting for months over whether the president can draw a capacity crowd at Bank of America Stadium. Polls show voter enthusiasm is down, as are Obama's crowds for his battleground state campaign rallies,” went the report.

Now comes word via WaPo’s Jennifer Rubin that “the Democratic National Convention — read, panicky aides to President Obama — have decided to move his speech indoors tomorrow, from the 74,000-seat Bank of America Stadium to a 20,000-seat venue, the Time Warner Cable Center.

“The Democrats are saying it is the 30 percent chance of rain that forced the change, but I imagine that not a single reporter is buying that. There is good reason for such skepticism. It is not like Obama hasn’t held rallies in the rain. And, as the Romney team eagerly points out, the weather forecast for Charlotte is improving.”

Booking a venue that’s too big for the crowd that shows up is every advance man’s nightmare. How much more so when his client is an egomaniac?

So who should we believe, Obama, Axelrod, or our lying eyes?
