...I dare say that it is a good strategy they are using if the convention is looking for election-sympathy. A sort of commercial psychology for the people.
In fact, where better to have their rebulican convention, than right there in the very wound of the stab; the place, where tragedy struck us all down like a bolt of lighting! It doesn't require a lot to find attention there, and they are catching people with the remenance of patriotic rhetoric.

Nothing like a quick election mind-fuck!
