Democrats promised a much different convention than the one seen in Cleveland last week, and so far they’ve delivered, big time. The downpour that hit Philadelphia Monday evening probably didn’t have anything to do with Democrats booing during the opening prayer, but the rain did seem to reach biblical proportions.

The media filing center is in a tent? Rape tents, scabies, and lice infestation aside, Occupy Wall Street did its thing in better conditions.
The roof of the #DemsInPhilly media tent just flexed like a bro in a gym mirror. #suddenstorm pic.twitter.com/EjJQk6J3SN

I'm hearing the media tent is collapsing faster than support for Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

The media workspace at the #DemsInPhilly is basically a big fancy tent that is ominously shaking in the midst of an intense thunderstorm.

In the "media filing tent" at #DemsInPhilly rain so loud you can't hear the shouty speakers on the TVs. Thank you rain.

"We're all gonna die" — journalists in media tents at Democratic convention #DemsInPhilly

OK, it wasn’t that bad … but it was bad. Is that water dripping all over the power strips? OK, maybe someone is going to die.

I’m growing really concerned about the media tent situation

The Democrats built only the classiest tents for the media, and they still leaked. Sad!
Apparently being told to evacuate the media tents #DemsInPhilly

Huge thunderstorm hits Philly. Just abandoned the leaky, metal-framed tent (but union-built!) where they house the media.

We are getting absolutely dumped on here in Philly. When the media tent is a rockin…stay in the arena. #DNCinPhilly

Odd that they'd put the media filing center in a tent rather than inside the facility itself.

No kidding.
We all know how HRC feels about media interviews, but it's pretty harsh to put reporters in a collapsing tent during a thunderstorm.
