Xcel May Get Redone for McCain Speech
The floor at the Xcel Energy Center may soon get makeover.
Instead of delivering his acceptance speech before a giant screen with a waving American flag, John McCain may instead be surrounded by GOP delegates, Republican aides said in St. Paul Wednesday. While far from the theatrics of the Democratic Convention when Barack Obama gave his acceptance speech at an outdoor football stadium in Denver, the GOP is considering how to make the stage and podium more appealing for TV.
A spokesman for the Republican National Committee said that no announcement has been made on whether the stage will be changed.
