Due to tropical storm Isaac, the convention will come to order later today, Monday August 27th, and then immediately recess until the afternoon on Tuesday, August 28th. Credit: AFP/Getty Images
In the coming days there will be much news coming from the high tech stage of the RNC Convention, but here you can see exactly how it would feel, minus the roaring crowds, to walk out to the podium in the middle of convention. TheBlaze was granted a behind-the-stage vantage point while rehearsal was in full swing Monday evening, and the teleprompters were rolling. Jeb Bush had just left the stage and the convention hall was filled with media. But no one else got this shot on the heavily-guarded stage:
Notice the massive debt clocks ticking in the top right in the stadium and the humongous LED transformers that function behind the screen at the beginning of the shot. All in all, it would be an exhilarating experience.

Posted on August 28, 2012 at 5:24pmThe debt clock was Dennis Miller’s idea! He mentioned it on his radio show the other day, and when I heard they were actually doing it at the convention, I thought that was very cool.

Posted on August 28, 2012 at 3:04pmYa, cause they’re better off supporting Obama who has vowed to put them out of a job? Think before you type. Also you think they’re better off paying hundreds of there hard earned dollars from each paycheck to their union who uses it to line there pockets and support liberal agendas so they can get more breaks?
