stephanie cutter said they had a long waiting list. i'm not sure i buy it. this is the fundamental theme republicans have been trying to hammer on, the sense of disappointment, more sorrow than anger. this is a perfect representation of that symbolic problem that they have had. i think it's interesting that this is a problem for them in north carolina where president obama came into office, they considered north carolina to be the front edge of their ever expanding coalition. they thought this would be a beachhead. they made this mistake of picking north carolina as the home of their convention because i don't think they are going to win north carolina. i think they will pull out of north carolina when this is over. if they had done this in an obama-friendly state they probably wouldn't have had a problem filling seats. megyn: his most loyal supporters believe he can bring something different to the country and perhaps he already has. there is a headline in the ""huffington post"." it, too, reflects how some on the left perceive president obama and how some
