PHOTOS: Podium Scenes At Republican And Democratic Conventions

An artist's rendition of the RNC podium:

And a photo of the DNC podium:

Obviously, the RNC image is cleaner since it's a graphic, but which looks more interesting/compelling?

Great way to debut the DNC: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0EGu4WF9L8o

Interesting. This image of the Dem's set-up is bad. Look elsewhere to actually see it, but...
That Republican set-up is so regimented it's almost fascist in it's layout and concept.

Scary.

CNN's video sucks. Try the one on this page at the Denver Post -- it looks much better.

shows a set of pictures of what it really looks like.
The Republican's is still just a dream...
this post needs an update
it implies that the Dems aren't ready

I see we're still playing "My flag is bigger than your flag".

[PlantGod72]

Good Lord, this RNC fright looks like it could have come directly from the illustration of a convention from 1900! Welcome to the OTHER millenium.

[BlueLogic]

Will McCain remember which convention he's supposed to attend?

[Krikkit]

Lol. Lieberman will be there to lead him by the hand to his assigned mark.

[BigLib]

I hope all those monitors catch Mrs. Grievance's expression when Hillary! supporters over run the stage.

[BigLib]

Barry insisted that there must be a teleprompter every two feet.

[doctorwang]

As long as he remembers how many houses he owns.....who cares????!!

[mick7191]

You should speak so well, nitwit.

[PlantGod72]

HA! This is the kind of scary misinformation the opposition is coming up with. What a loser..........the lies and distortions just keep on coming folks.

BigLib is on a roll.....actually I think it's an onion bagel.

The RNC podium looks classic and elegant in this grahic. This photo of the DNC podium doesn't do it justice. I saw "the big reveal" on CNN this morning and it looks really exciting and inspiring.

[JJI]

The RNC flag isn't big enough.

[PlantGod72]

But the rigid, angular floor plan is enough to absolutely guarantee a rousing chorus of "Exxon, Mobile, uber alles!"

[Mr Grey]

Hey at least it's not green! But they should have an oil platform in the background. You know, support the RNC "platform". Big OIl, Big Oil, Big Oil, Drill, Drill,Drill and we will lower you gas prices in a few years, maybe!

[ramblingjohnny]

Yeah let Drill! Drill! Drill! So we can lower the price of Oil by three cents for two weeks five years from now!

[NoOneSpecial]

Someone from the McCain camp must have told the Repub convention planners: "No Jell-o green background".

[WasteNJ]

The RNC stage appears to be mirrored, so just in case the prostitution industry is overwhelmed during the convention, the guys on stage can look up women's skirts to get their fix. Let's keep an eye on who looks at the floor the most!

[LucieLee]

The RNC....always wrapping themselves in the flag........The RNC is a disgrace!

[WasteNJ]

The DNC stage is high tech, all huge monitors, the RNC stage is basic, low tech. The differences are deeper than looks.

[Ramirez]

One is about style, one is about substance.

[lvdragonlady]

The question should be, which looks more presidential.

[DavieB36]

The RNC does not look presidential it looks third reich.

[Josiwe]

Thank you! Could the podium scream "AUTHORITAH!!!" any louder? The Republican Party has become the Cartman Party.
