McCAIN TO ACCEPT NOMINATION “IN THE ROUND”

from Marc Ambinder:
John McCain plans to accept the Republican presidential nomination in a unique setting.
Convention planners are working with broadcasters to stage McCain’s speech in the round, with Republican faithful behind him.
It’s a special request of McCain image-makers, who think the candidate looks more comfortable — and feels more comfortable — when he’s surrounded by real people.
Very rarely does McCain speak without people sitting behind him, an innovation of veteran Republican event stager Greg Jenkins.
