1. keep them the hell out of NY

buncha yahoos

[jmowreader]

2. Give it to LA

They can be serenaded by the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles. Who, I am certain, would be more than happy to entertain the Republicans.

Whether they want it, or not.

And just think: Obamacare covers heart attacks!

3. I see that Dallas, Houston and San Antonio are on the list.

Nothing worse than roasting like hell wearing convention garments during August.

4. The 24 Cities sent an RFP in November:

1. Cincinnati
2. Cleveland
3. Columbus
4. Dallas
5. Denver
6. Detroit
7. Indianapolis
8. Kansas City
9. Las Vegas
10. Philadelphia
11. Phoenix
12. Salt Lake City
13. San Antonio
14. Orlando
15. Seattle
16. Atlanta
17. Chicago
18. Houston
19. Los Angeles
20. Miami
21. New Orleans
22. New York
23. Oklahoma City
24. St. Louis

My bet is on one of the three Ohio cities with Philadelphia being a wild-card.

[former9thward]

12. Do those OH cities have enough hotel space?

It takes a lot. None of those are especially big cities.

[davidpdx]

17. Not familiar with any of them as I've never been to Ohio

That could be.

[liberal N proud]

[sakabatou]

[apnu]

8. Wait, the cities were "invited" So they haven't asked for this honor?

Really?

[former9thward]

10. The DNC does the same thing.

You have to get a RFP from a Party before giving your case.

[apnu]

14. Ah. Ok then. Thanks (nt)

[JNelson6563]

No, I didn't think so, you fuckers.

[former9thward]

11. Detroit is on the list.

[JNelson6563]

13. Huh. Well I'll be damned!

Think they are serious? They may see PR value in such a thing...

[former9thward]

15. I think one of Reagan's conventions was in Detroit.

[JNelson6563]

16. Yes, I was in the city at the time.

That was a very long time ago and Detroit was a different city, as I am sure you know.
