2008 Democratic National Convention. Where do you think it should be?

[Pryderi]

Looks like it might be held in Denver.

Since the GOP seems to be putting their conventions in "Blue states", should democrats put it theirs in a "Red State"?

[Drum]

1. Atlanta GA

[Clark2008]

18. Seconded - or Nashville or Memphis, TN

eom

[Hippo_Tron]

33. Atlanta was a disaster in '88 because of hotels

Delegates had to stay in the suburbs and drive 45 minutes by bus to get to the convention hall. I don't know if Atlanta has changed since then but this is definitely something to consider.

2. Philadelphia, Mississippi

3. Harrisburg, PA

4. I think Denver is a great spot for it.

5. NYC

[Johnny Noshoes]

24. NOT NYC

Please we don't need all the crap that comes with a convention. We have enough to deal with every day. Just yesterday a "suspicious package" shut down car traffic on 42 street from 6th ave to Grand Central Station. I don't know how long the scare lasted because I walked down 5th avenue to Greenwich Village for the excercise and then caught the train home.

10. Crawford Texas

[Pryderi]

13. That would be awesome!

[NoPasaran]

38. A little short on facilities, unfortunately

[datadiva]

12. NOLA

Would be great business for the city. Plus focus attention.

[Hippo_Tron]

16. Speaking as a New Orleanian

It might be problematic holding the convention during hurricane season. However, logistically we shouldn't have any problems by 2008. I would also say that if our idiot mayor wants to speak at the convention make sure that somone is holding a gun to his head from behind the curtain and is ready to fire if he deviates from the script.

14. Denver is fantastic.

Need to continue building up Colorado and Western states.

[MaineDem]

15. Denver and NYC are the only two choices. n/t

[rhiannon55]

19. Denver is a great choice

:patriot:

[cmd]

20. Cleveland Ohio

No city needs it more. It ranks the poorest in the country and consistantly votes Democratic. The plans are done. The Republicans turned them down.

[derby378]

21. Dallas, TX

Yee-haw.

[Dr Fate]

22. New Orleans. Duh.

[jillan]

28. I often feel like we are the forgotten dems

in the country. Must be a Goldwater thing:shrug:

That's another reason I would love to see Pederson win...
along with Mitchell & Paine.

[DesertRat]

32. But we don't want to roast them in the middle of our summer...

:hi:

[yourout]

27. Madison, WI.

I know.....too small. But would bring a big smile to this cheesehead.

[recoveringdittohed]

29. Geneva (IL or Ny)

Repubs no longer using the Geneva convention.

[bigwillq]

30. Denver (nt)

[Daylin Byak]

31. Pittsburgh, PA in the future

Pittsburgh would be a great place to have a converntion, a city that has been Democratic since the new deal(we outnumber the GOP 3 to 1) and the city has been a stronghold for union support.

Unfortunely having the convention will have to wait will 2012 and beyond cause the Mellon Arena is so shitty and outdated that the DNC wouldn't even give the arena a passing glance. But after September 20 work will begin underway to get a new arena in play cause that's when the PA gaming board will be issuing the slot license(Long story that I will not get into at the present time).

[Trajan]

34. Denver .... yeah ....

How I crave waking up to a Flatiron sunrise ..... DAMN I miss Boulder ..... And Wahoo's Fish Tacos in Louisville ....

EVERYONE should visit Denver at least once in there lives ....

[Hawkeye-X]

36. Wahoo's gotten viral

They're all over the place. I like the fish burritoes... Mmm.. makes me wanna go there on my way to poker to pick one up.

[DemDogs]

35. Has to be Denver or NYC

So it has to be Denver

[Contrary1]

37. Indianapolis

Great city. Lots to do. Park your car downtown. Anything you
could want to do is within a 10-15 minute walk.

[bemildred]

39. On the web. nt

[annabanana]

40. New Orleans. . . .n/t

42. I Was Thinking Repugs Should Have Theirs In Baghdad

Maybe they could even move there?

I like ours in Denver. I have lots of family near there.
