A Tale of Two Convention Podiums

August 22, 2008

Hmm…what do these say to you?

The RNC podium says:

  • low-budget
  • nationalism
  • Americana
  • World Wrestling Federation
  • the 20th C.

The DNC set-up says:

  • high-budget
  • fresh
  • media-friendly
  • elegant
  • the future

Now let’s see which one translates into votes.

Rep: old america

Dem: new america

neither represent the future though

I guess we all have different ideas about the future but Obama is closer to my perspective of what that is.

Actually, the Rep’s looks scary to me almost Hitlerian with straight lines, it reminds me of a flag that has the straight line stars (British?).
More importantly, I’m actually excited to be watching the Dem convention for the first time in years!!!

remembered later, it reminds me of the confederate flag…. I’m sure the southern base will appreciate it ;)

They both say: “We’re spending buckets of money so that hosers in animal-themed headgear can experience a balloon drop.”

Agree with Houri.

Republicans: looks positively Soviet. A place where dreams die.

Democrats: like the set for a U2 concert. Also kinda Vegas/Disney. I love how the rainbow effect of the color scheme is red and blue melding to purple.
