Rethugs have narrowed thier 2012 convention to either Florida, Arizona, or Utah

I do think Arizona will be in play for Obama in 2012...Florida certainly will be..

IMO, good sites for the 2012 DNC would be Phoenix (assuming rethugs don't go there), St. Louis, Cleveland, etc..


"The Republican National Committee has narrowed the site of its 2012 convention to either Phoenix, AZ, Tampa, FL, or Salt Lake City, UT. Each one comes with its own flavor. Arizona is expected to be a swing state in 2012, just as New Mexico, Nevada, and Colorado were in 2008. Without John McCain on the ticket, he Democrats are likely to contest it fiercely and having the Republican convention there might help the GOP. Florida is always a swing state and much more populous than Arizona, so Tampa might give the GOP an edge in this key state. Utah is so solidly Republican that Obama didn't even bother to campaign there. If Mitt Romney is the nominee, then having the convention in SLC would focus attention on his role in the 2002 Winter Olympics, but also focus attention on his Mormon religion, which is more likely to be a net minus for him. All in all, Tampa is probably the best choice for the Republicans. The Democrats have not announced their short list yet, but Las Vegas has said it is already booked for 2012 and couldn't handle it".
