He has steady work this week as a floral designer only because the convention is in town. But he says he's still voting for President Obama.
The Republican nominee for president, Mitt Romney, and his running mate Paul Ryan blame Democrats, even harkening back to a president of 30 years ago. Paul Ryan campaigned here in North Carolina on Monday.
"Every president since the Great Depression who asked Americans to send them into a second term could say that you are better off today than you were four years ago except for Jimmy Carter and for President Barack Obama."
Democrats and the president will spend three days making their case.
This empty arena fills with 6,000 delegates and thousands more volunteers and support staff each day the convention gavels in. The main speeches will be heard on network television. And 4,000 Democratic parties will be held across the country to watch what happens here at the Democratic National Convention.“在过去的五年里,我已经遭受五次裁员了。” 雷金纳德•珀塞尔是这种糟糕经济形势的受害者。
这周他有份稳定的工作——花艺设计师,仅仅是因为全国代表大会将在镇上举行。然而,珀塞尔表示他仍然会投票给奥巴马总统。
共和党提名的总统候选人米特•罗姆尼和他的竞选伙伴保罗•赖安共同指责民主党,甚至还指责起30年前的总统表现。来听听周一保罗在北卡莱罗纳州的竞选演说:
“大萧条以来,每位总统在竞选连任时都会说:相比4年前,你们生活得更好了。而卡特总统和奥巴马总统不在此列。”
民主党人和总统将在3天内策划出他们的竞选方案。
代表大会开始后,这个空旷的场地每天会迎来6000名代表和数以千计的志愿者及后勤人员。主要演说将在网络电视上转播。全国各地的民主党人将举行4000场集会,共同关注这次民主党全国代表大会上发生的一切。
