“Not Ready ‘08: A Mile High and an Inch Deep”
Here’s another story ( with more details ) on the plan to have Mitt Romney and Rudy Guiliani crash the Democratic Convention in Denver, Colorado next week. I have to tell you, I LOVE THE CHUTPAS. We Pubbies have got a nerve, don’t we?
I think it was a brilliant move and Rudy and Mitt can dish it out with the best of them. Doesn’t hurt to have 15,000 reporters and their crews milling around with Sony mini-cams at the ready.
Woo Hoo!! Can’t wait for the fireworks to begin!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - When Democrats gather in Denver next week to nominate Barack Obama for president, they’ll be joined by such uninvited guests as Republicans Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney.
The two former presidential candidates will be among two dozen or so Republicans in the city hoping to get their party’s message out during a week dominated by Democratic festivities.Their slogan? “Not Ready ‘08: A Mile High and an Inch Deep,” a play on the nickname for the high-altitude city in the western United States.
Republican presidential candidate John McCain, Obama’s rival for the November 4 election, is expected to keep a relatively low profile that week, though he is scheduled to appear as a guest on “The Tonight Show” talk show on Monday.
His surrogates will set up shop within walking distance of the Democrats’ convention hall, hoping to catch the attention of the 15,000 reporters gathered there.
“With all the hype of the actual convention and all the Obama fans gathered in one spot, we’re going to get beyond the glitz and the celebrity and talk about the facts of his record,” said Matt McDonald, a McCain staffer overseeing the effort.

Let these games begin! Could be mighty interesting. Save our White House, be sharp, be careful, and be quick. Obama has big desires for that White House.
