Comments on: How the Democratic convention is getting wired

Qwest, Cisco Systems, Symantec, and others are providing the technical infrastructure for the Democrats this week in Denver at one of the most tech-heavy political conventions ever.

What I find most interesting about all of this is that the scale of the technology is not even remotely close to the technological wonder that was the Olympic games. Just look at the Gold Medal Basketball game - there were huge sections of the stadium wired up for more much more than just wi-fi. I don't get the big deal about this - it's a football stadium that's going to be maybe 1/4 full (at best) and people are thinking it's a big deal. There's more topless painted men that show up for NFL football games on a weekly basis than are going to show up for either of these conventions...

1/4 full? They will be turning people away.

Who wants to witness a tax dollar funded party for people who want to expand the governmnet to the detriment of the people? They already know who the candidate will be. IMO - the real convention is the Rally for the Republic. For a change, we get to celebrate our great American traditions of freedom and self-sovereignty. It's entirely funded by the voluntary contributions of freedom loving people. Call me a heretic but I'll take a return to real freedom over socialism/warfare/welfare every time. Celebrate freedom not the personalities of politicians.
