They didn't have time to order any?

Apparently just not enough time to order, get them delivered and more importantly get them installed into the roof, something hard to do once the whole place was already set up and within the high security zone.

I am surprised that they didnt have the place set up just in case. They still havent released today's full schedule. It appears they really didn't have a backup plan or at least not a very thorough one.  This indicates they probably werent too happy about making the change. But seeing at how it has been raining hard today it was probably the right call. Even if it clears up at night, I bet a lot of ticket holders would not have bothered to go

The schedule is up. The Bidens will be on during the 9-10 hour, with Crist and Kerry on during 8-9pm. For the network primetime hour there is just Durbin (who will probably be talked over by network analysts) an Obama video (which they will probably show) and then Obama himself.

Schweitzer is laying on the good ol boy routine a bit thick. "Get er done"? seriously? Surprised he doesn't pull out a couple of guns and starts shootin' like Yosemite Sam.

Crist is no Zel Miller.

Maybe he can go  on FOX and challenge Brit Hume to a duel.

If you had "exceptional" on your drinking game Bingo, Kerry just got you alcohol poisoning

[Likely Voter]

He's pretty clearly angling for State.

Totally. He actually gave a pretty good speech. Better than 2004.

One thing is for sure, the DNC makes great videos. Of course it helps to have the godless Hollywood pinkos on your side to make them.

The GOP also had a very well made infomercial video for Romney, but instead of showing it during network primetime, they put up Clint Eastwood and his chair

[Likely Voter]

John King just did a very good analysis of the map and showing how it is "almost impossible" for Romney to win without Ohio, hence why DNC went so hard on auto bailout and constant mentions of Ohio
