1. Darn, I wanted Ted to start another riot like he did with the 99 YDA

convention.

[serryjw]

2. Sorry, I want it in Denver

I live a mile away from the new convention center!!!!

[dorktv]

5. so we should have it there for you because you want to walk to it?

[serryjw]

7. Absolutely

We have a new convention center with a bunch of brand new hotels,transportation D/T is easy with hundreds of great restaurants in walking distance. Which city could do a better job?

[dorktv]

8. Phoenix with a brand new convention center, new stadiums

Great resort hotels, nice people, great D owned resturants near by, amazing natural splendor also close by and it would drive the Republicans nuts!

[serryjw]

9. WHY are we talking about

Phoenix if it's not one of the 3 remaining contenders?

[dorktv]

10. cuz I wanted to brag.

when did it get dropped?

11. 11/05

12. probably because we had the DNC meeting here and I know that

Alexis and the rest almost went nuts.

13. 3 miles away, and it's a skip, hop, and a jump away from me

and I can't wait! :woohoo:

3. give it a few years, and either of the big conventions may be in PHX

even if the Republicans come here, it'll be fun screwing with them.

[dorktv]

4. oh yes it will! :D

6. That's a shame. That's EXACTLY where the Dems should go.

It'd be NONSTOP reminders in file footage of the wreckage of Katrina, shots of bush sitting there like a wart on a witch's nose, so uninvolved and incurious, and Brownie, of course, and that creepy skeletal michael chertoff, and all those people in agony. It'd be nice to remind America of what the "fabulous" republi-CONS have "done" for (or is that TO) our country and its people, and the least of our brethren. I think it's long past time we started rubbing their noses in it.
