that the repubs set up an office about a mile away from the dnc with a quote"war room"quote that will host the likes of quote"rudy guliani"quote and quote"mitt romney"quote. i cant find a link because the article is buried in yahoo news somewhere.....but it was on there last night during the convention. is it just me or is that kind of........sleezy? you setting up an office a mile away so you can automatically blast back with attacks.

They are trying to inject themselves whenever possible into the Press coverage of the event. Is this really surprising to you? Hannity, Limbaugh and who know who elese are also there. It is just politics as usual.

Below are links to a couple of stories about it.

Edit: "War Room" is a common term which is used often when offices are setup for any event.

The problem, of course, is that the Fed long ago established pre-emption on the matter. I knew when CA voted on this that it was not going to fly. No, you cannot just disband the DEA. There is a Constitution in place, and the laws must change in accordance. Until the S. Ct. rules that the Fed does not have preemption, or Congress passes a carve-out for medicinal marijuana, nothing else can be done. And I hate to poop on your party, but until there is a way to establish recency of use in driving cases, I am against legalization of mj.

Probably the same reason they call a candidate's campaign fund a "war chest" It's just a term.

And don't you think the Dems will also set up a "war room" during the Republican Convention? Of course they will.

Nice try, conspiracy junky.

That story was run within the first ten minutes of the nightly news last night (at least on NBC). Hardly "buried".

And if you think either party isn't going to set up a camp near the other party's convention, you're either ignorant or not paying attention.

If you believe this is one sided you are uniquely naive. Politics all in all is a game and it is played by both sides regardless of what everyone thinks. The people that run these campaigns know what they are doing because the majority of the US likes the fighting and the negativity, they cater to it. If you for one second believe that the democratic party is "cleaner" and doesn't play dirty, you really need to get a swift kick in your cerebrum.
