Who Got To Triantafilou?

18 Aug 2008 11:39 am

Alex M. Triantafilou, the chairman of the Hamilton Co., Republican Party, wrote on his blog yesterday that McCain would be in Dayton, Ohio on August 29 -- the day after the Democratic convention ends -- and was looking for a "big" venue.

"Sen. McCain is expected to host a rally on August 29 in Dayton and is looking for a BIG venue and for a BIG crowd. He'll get it. This is not yet public. I guess I just made it so."

That was yesterday.

Today, that sentence has disappeared from the site...

1. Reality, perhaps?

Can he really fill a "big venue"?

3. If, by "big venue" you mean a church basement or a local Oddfellows hall, then the answer is "yes."

5. make some money ... sell adult diapers with

"McCain08" on them ... from photographic evidence, they may be needed by the attendees ...

2. I assume someone called him to not spoil the surprise, just in case they can't...

produce the numbers. If I was going to organize a mass GOP rally, I might go for San Diego or Atlanta. Daytonites might be a little hardpressed to turn out in droves for the Republicans right about now.
