'IN THEIR FACES': GOP BORROWS FROM OBAMA--AND BREITBART

In 2008, an aggressive candidate Barack Obama told  supporters to “argue with them, get in their faces.” In 2012, Republicans are taking a page from Obama’s book, holding a “counter-convention” outside the Democratic National Convention at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, NC. While Republican nominee Mitt Romney will be keeping a low profile all week, his party is taking the fight straight to the gates of the opposition.

The “counter-convention” will feature GOP leaders--including Sen. Marco Rubio (FL), Gov.
