Maybe the convention should be moved to some place where Obummer is popular.

Uh, I'm not sure off hand where that might be. Stockholm, perhaps? Hollywood? Or the Castro district of San Francisco?

That last might be the best choice, but I don't know. They have a problem with dog-eaters in San Francisco. 

Obama Carolina Convention Plans Going Awry for Democrats

By John McCormick and Hans Nichols - May 15, 2012 12:00 AM ET
Bloomberg.com

President Barack Obama’s decision in February 2011 to hold the Democratic National Convention in North Carolina looked like a bold move to reclaim a state he’d won in 2008. Today, it’s more like an awkward fit.

The state’s Democratic Party is mired in a sexual harassment scandal. Voters just approved a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, which conflicts with Obama’s view on the issue. Convention fundraising has been slow, and labor unions tapped to fill the financial gap are angry the convention will be in a city -- Charlotte -- with no unionized hotels and in a state where compulsory union membership or the payment of dues is prohibited as an employment condition.
