Center stage at the Republican National Convention in New York next summer may be round, rotating and built on a platform high above the floor of Madison Square Garden, event organizers said yesterday.

While rock bands or performance artists have been known to use center-floor rotating stages, no presidential candidate has received his party's nomination from one at a national convention, organizers said.

If this really happens, I hereby pledge a hundred bucks cash to the first credentialed delegate who's willing to get up during Bush's acceptance speech and yell out "FREE BIRD!"
