7. I guess Rachel Maddow sensed this thing was gonna be a joke
Heard somewhere she was planning to attend the convention and broadcast from there tonight.

Expect stuff you won't hear on the rest of the liberal media, like photos of empty meeting rooms, sparse crowds entering the convention hall, incidents of conventioneers threatening protesters/reporters and stories about merchants/vendors getting stiffed.

Maybe a shot of a huge row of porta potties with 2 or 3 people standing around.

Or a report on what a financial clusterfuck this thing is - they take in 600 people at $600 or so a pop, that's $360,000. They have to pay Palin $100k, rent a hall, provide other speakers, transport dignitaries to the convention, etc etc etc.

I'd be very surprised if this mess doesn't result in a lot of lawsuits and maybe even a few criminal charges.
