The Democratic National Committee is coming to the Republican National Convention — or at least, across the street. Hoping to keep a post-DNC bump, the party is setting up a media office across from the Xcel Energy Center to serve as a rapid-response center for countering whatever goes on inside. The “More of the Same” center — to be accessible via justmoreofthesame.com — will host media spokespeople, two dozen fact-checkers (who’ll fisk every GOP speech) and a satellite truck to transit interviews anywhere in the world. And in addition to its already-running bus-shelter postering, the DNC will have a mobile billboard that’ll “stalk” John McCain, the New York Times reports. It’s a strategy similar to the one the Republicans are using in Denver, only closer. The GOP’s response team was housed a mile from the convention venue, but still managed to get Minnesota’s Tim Penny in to bash the candidate of his former party, Barack Obama.
