Obama to pre-empt RNC convention

According to Politico, Barack Obama is likely to hold a huge rally Tuesday night in the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. Tuesday is the night of the final Democratic primaries, and the choice of venue, the site of the Republican National Convention from Sept. 1 to 4, is a mischievous, aggressive way for Obama to unofficially kick off the general election campaign against John McCain . The location gives huge meaning to the moment, with Obama likely to frame a tough case against his new opponent in the very hall where McCain will accept his party’s nomination realization that they're stuck with him.

Local authorities have promised to exercise a firm grip over local incoming transportation facilities, particularly at the local airport, in a coordinated effort to block potentially disruptive members of Craig's List. Law enforcement officers have been duly instructed to "cite on shoot" any suspicious individuals.
