Democrats want to cancel all political events at high schools, right?
By JR Hoeft | Wednesday, September 10th, 2008 | PoliticsBecause of the popularity of today’s McCain/Palin event in Fairfax, the McCain campaign realized two days ago that they had to change venues. The campaign started to explore what options they might have to ensure that the location they settled on would be large enough to accommodate the 20k+ tickets they gave out.
However, not having that bit of information, Democrats began a letter writing campaign yesterday to keep McCain from having the event at a high school in Fairfax (after the decision had already been made to move).
So, let’s take this at face value: Barack Obama held an event yesterday at a Lebanon, VA high school. Today, Barack Obama will be at Granby High School in Norfolk. And, if memory serves me correct, Obama held a townhall in a Fairfax High School earlier this year.
Clearly, these events were all political. And, clearly, Obama is a regular participant.
I am presuming then that Democrats will all demand that no political events are to be held at any high school and Obama should immediately cease his current and future events planned at schools? I am presuming there has been a large outcry to stop today’s event on Granby?
Certainly there’s not a double standard being applied, right?
Also, since we’re on the subject, I guess we should cancel Election Day since most of our polling places are in schools.

Obama held an event at a local High School here in Central Ohio. No one complained…
BUT since McCain is now drawing crowds of 20,000 plus, I imagine that will change. Dems love to change the rules when they start losing
