Just read this on our local station:

Democrats are putting off an announcement on choosing a 2008 national convention site until early January.

Democratic Party officials said Tuesday they are hard-pressed to pick between Denver and New York.

Party officials have been negotiating for months with host committees for New York and Denver. A series of problems with Denver's bid and a significant cooling of interest from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg led Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean to seek more time to make a decision.

2. If things go the way I suspect they will

it would be VERY beneficial to have the convention somewhere in the south. Maybe Memphis?

I know that my idea will probably never happen, but if Clark or Edwards gets the nod, it could pay dividends.

3. Pick a purple state please. Not NYC. nt

4. politically it makes no sense to hold it in NY

Nor should the last convention have been held in Boston. If it were possible New Orleons would have been great, but the city isn't ready yet. Miami would have been nice in '04 due to the '00 fiasco. Go West or South, I say.
