Can we get Hotel reservations NOW in the Twin Cities for the Repuke Conv?

[The Sushi Bandit]

Looks like NO!!

"We don't book that far in advance" was the response from my many calls to the major hotels in the area.
Is this a prelude to keeping out the counter demonstrators that will flood the twin cities?

I bet the re-pukes are booking rooms by the "bushel" behind the scenes with their big corporate hotel donors!

1. What a great, and fun, idea! A trip to MN in August 'for the cause'?

Yowza!

2. Hey, my house is open

for any DU'ers who need a place to stay. Am about 45 minutes from the city though.

3. Did they pick Minneapolis/St. Paul

in an attempt to help norm 'I was made to look like a total jack-ass by a member of British Parliament" coleman.

5. Interesting stuff at KOS about the conventions..

Seems now that the GOP jumped in selecting their location and dates, that Dean can opt to either keep the week he penciled in a week before the GOPs.. or he can change the dates and hold ours after the dipshits have theirs if he chooses.

There´s a lot to consider though when selecting the dates..

º the ´08 summer olympics
º school dates
º etc, etc, etc..

I think the DNC will stick with their original date.. maybe..

You never know what the good Doc has up his sleeves..

Whatever the case.. Denver will ROCK!

Someone should keep an eye out and post on all the liberal forums when the bookings open up. If everyone books a couple of hotel rooms, the GOPs will be left out in the cold.
