Our intrepid reporter Jennifer Hsu, who is at the RNC for the The Takeaway
(a co-production of WNYC Radio and Public Radio International in collaboration with the New York Times, BBC World Service, and WGBH Radio Boston), sent us some pictures of the speaking floor that you'll rarely see on television. Jen writes: "have you noticed the big images they display behind the Republican speakers? Something you probably can't really notice on TV: they display these odd photos during the speeches. Sarah Palin might be making a grand declaration about U.S. foreign policy and suddenly, there's Old Faithful spouting."

Palin.
Giuliani.
Giuliani.
Huckabee.
"My photo of the Huckabee image is too small....but it's really odd. A half-deserted parking lot. I'm dying to know what McCain will have behind him."
We are too, Jenn!
UPDATE: McCain got a Junior High School. From intrepid reporter Hsu:
"This one is almost as weird as Huckabee's parking lot.... AND this isn't actually a photo. McCain got special treatment: This image is actually a looping video. I realized this when all of a sudden I saw a tiny figure walking up to the entrance of the school!"

Stumble Upon
McCain will have the "big print" edition of his speech on the wall, just in case he loses his place.
I'm excited for the RNC to end and for us to get our city back. It's been an insane week full of too much riot gear.
Some friends and I were discussing what appeared to be greenscreen and bluescreen behind McCain in closeups during his speech; then someone found this Gawker link (http://gawker.com/5046032/mccain-cant-even-get-stock-photo-background-right) which set us straight!
That last one is Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, CA.
