2. I heard NY or Minneapolis
But now that the Repukes are in Minneapolis, I hope we don't go there.

Aw c'mon
Don't pee in my Cheerios!

I'll support whatever candidate and city the party chooses...I just think NOLA would make the perfect backdrop.

8. So solly!

And I agree, NOLA would have been great and brought back memories that shouldn't be forgotten.

3. I don't know...
It sounds like it could turn into a gigantic photo op for the dems. Could backfire.

5. The Republicans will actually be meeting in St. Paul at the Xcel Center
Though, I imagine they'll be clogging the hotels in Minneapolis and some of the surrounding 'burbs as well. I believe Minneapolis has a larger sex trade so I'd guess the hotel rooms on that side of the river will go first. :evilgrin:

6. Somebody suggested this earlier today.
Bosshog said that New Orleans simply cannot afford to host something that requires massive security. And from reports I have heard, the New Orleans Police Department is operating with nowhere near adequate manpower, communications equipment, or offices.
