Democrats cancel Speedway event at Charlotte convention

Democrats cancel Speedway event at Charlotte convention. “The move comes as party planners are grappling with a fundraising deficit of roughly $27 million, according to two people familiar with the matter who requested anonymity to discuss internal party politics.” Anybody got a set of Hot Wheels?

  • As an Independent Conservative, I've decided to attend the Democrat National Convention.

    Like so many others, I'll just go to watch the crashes.

  • Anyone remember when moochele gave a speech at the homestead miami race last year and got booed by the whole crowd?

  • Actually I think they cancelled because the SS told Bozo there was no way to guarentee his safety at a track the size of Charlotte.

  • The one and only would feel out of place. We NASCAR fans are just bitter clingers. His feeling would be badly hurt when the booing starts.

    As for the deficit, too bad. The dim wits need to come up with a better BS slogan.

  • I believe this is just a ploy. "We're so broke we can't run a convention" Do you want to let those evil Republicans buy the election?"

    • I know, right? Being a southern gal, there are plenty of NASCAR fans in my family, and I know for a fact they'd rather cut off their own legs with a KA-BAR than ever vote for a Democrat.

      • So Jenn do you agree with your family members, and if you do can we get married? Any woman who knows that democrats will be the death of them are the women for me.

        • Oh, do I! I'd rather cut my own legs off even if all I had on hand to do it with was a rusty pocketknife I'd fished out of a sewer. I sometimes wonder if the only time the Democrats were ever honest about anything was when they picked a donkey for their symbol. They sure are a bunch of jackasses - pardon my slip into very unladylike speaking.

          But I must turn down your proposal, kind sir, as I am already married to a wonderful man who still makes my heart go all a' flutter every time he smiles at me.

  • "will move the activities to Charlotte’s main business district, the convention’s host committee announced."

    LOL the Big Convention is gonna end up at a Motel 6 on the edge of town at this rate!
