RNC goes w/ FLW-touched stage design ... critics see AR connection

The Wright references, which Fenhagen said he pulled together after a couple of simple Google searches, are relatively faint. They draw from the architect's most approachable domestic designs — mostly the Prairie Style houses of his early career — rather than his most radical buildings. They're more Oak Park than Fallingwater, more Robie House than Guggenheim Museum.

Still, in the context of a national political convention, where every symbolic choice is sure to be scrutinized, there are more than a few risks in going with Frank Lloyd Wright as your architectural touchstone. And I wonder how many of them the Romney campaign has fully considered.

    If you are correct, "Our Age" can proceed to spin A = A
    (but a play on word "minimum") .

    Mr. Romney did NOT reject REP Paul Ryan for Mr. Ryan's approval of "ATLAS SHRUGGED."
    (Yes, I realize Mr. Ryan "rejected" A$ in some fashion, but to a religious publication -- National Review.)

    I think people might be reading to far into this.... I hardly think the design of the stage is politically controversial.
