It's the DNC's by default. The RNC podium and seating and flooring make it look a little too much like the union jack and the heavy use of red and the giant flag in the background border on a parody of fascist motifs.

That's got to be one of the goofiest comments I've ever read. For one, the "heavy use of red" is almost entirely due to the floor, which we won't be seeing a lot of, anyway. And I'm not sure I see a tremendous difference between a giant flag, and giant segments of a flag floating on screens. Anyway, the RNC image was a mockup, whereas the DNC one is an actual photo. We'll see how the RNC stage actually looks when it's setup. I suspect it'll look a bit "busier" than the image we have now.

I'm a strong believer in Godwins law... but... the RNC's podium has a neo-fascist vibe going on... The DNC one looks very "American", good job.
