Remember the Podium

Remember how in 2004 the podium at the RNCC was made to look like a cross? Seeing as McCain has problems with teleprompters and his stature is diminished by the presence of something as innocent as a lectern, I wonder what the designers will come up with this year.

By his own admission, McCain is not a great orator. He is ill-suited to lecterns (which often dwarf his small stature), and he tends to sound as if he is reading his lines, not speaking them.

Maybe they'll come up with something different this year, a windscreen designed to replicate a jet fighter cockpit, a barbecue pit arrangement or something buslike perhaps.
