Oh my.

We're everywhere.

DENVER - They're grossly outnumbered by a swarm of Democrats, but national Republicans have set up shop in Denver, hoping to thrust themselves into the media's coverage of the Democratic convention.

While the spotlight naturally is focused on Barack Obama, national Republicans have set up an effort to grab media coverage, or at least offer some balance to the Democrats' show.

The GOP effort includes a "war room" and media center less than a mile from the convention hall and making top Republicans such as Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney available for press conferences and satellite interviews to television stations across the country, especially in swing states.

There's a new GOP web site (http://www.notready08.com) with videos and ads, along with plans for rapid responses to attacks on GOP nominee-to-be John McCain and to speeches from the Democrats.

A staff of two dozen has set up shop in temporary workspace up the road from the Pepsi Center and thousands of journalists. Security at the war room is tight to avoid problems with Democratic protesters.

It sounds like a good day to bomb Iran back to the Iron Age.

It's a good idea to set up shop in Denver, otherwise there would be no coverage at all of the GOP. All of the cable networks have been in Obie's pocket for months now and McCain nor any other candidate for any office will get coverage unless they fight for it.

I thought this was going to be about Fox news moving their live shows to Denver for the convention.  :fuelfire:

Why stop there?  I say we take them back to the Bronze age... if not the stone age.
