Weather forces Obama acceptance speech indoors

The campaign is already moving to figure out what to do with those who planned to attend, and indicated Wednesday they would be invited to future Obama events, though not the main event this Thursday in Charlotte.

"We are encouraging them not to come to Charlotte," the source said.
