Which of these cities would you like to have hold '08 convention?

[WI_DEM]

Poll question: Which of these cities would you like to have hold '08 convention?

These are the cities which have submitted bids. If you were on the committee to make the decision which of these cities would you choose to hold the Democratic Convention Aug. 25-28 2008?

1. I voted for New Orleons. But I'd rather have it in New Orleans. n/t

[WI_DEM]

3. Oh, sorry

Thanks for pointing that out in a nice way without being uppidy about a mistake.

[acmavm]

12. Sorry if you think I was being uppity. n/t

[WI_DEM]

15. no, I said thank you for not being uppidy about it.

2. My head says Dallas 'cause I could possibly attend if I got an invitation

but my heart knows that NOLA needs it so badly.

[Ian David]

4. New Orleans, beyond a doubt

Then again, the GOP managed to exploit New York for its 9-11 value, even though Bush is the one who may as well have dropped the planes on them, so maybe the REPUBLICANS will have their convention in New Orleans?

And New Orleans will be managed by Dubai?

[WI_DEM]

7. I think the dems missed a great opportunity in not holding our '04

convention in Florida to capitalize on the 2000 election fiasco.

5. New Orleans.

Just for the halibut.

6. The Big Easy has had it way too tough

Time to spread some money, messages, support, and love around there!

[LA lady]

8. maybe too soon

I really am not sure it will be ready. Time will tell.

[havocmom]

20. I'm thinking, just to make a point about who has answers and solutions,

the DEMS could make their own lunch and co-op on supper. Do an improvised camp out, with fun, style and grace. Show the GOP how one goes about bringing resources INTO the city and sharing with purpose for building hope.

Hell, I'd take my camp stove, tent and help cook. Maybe some of you lovely LA Ladies would give me some pointers for tasty twists on the menue! ;)

9. Denver, the Western Strategy

:dem:

[PeachyDem88]

10. NOLA

Without question.

Both parties should hold their '08 conventions in New Orleans, the way they both used to hold their conventions in Chicago...

[lies and propaganda]

11. NOLA for sure!

Bring back what these bastards have taken from us. Louisiana is radically different from top to bottom, not just in NOLA.
My homestate deserves it more than anywhere else.

[MADem]

13. It's an interesting question

On the one hand, the cash that a city gets during what, for some municipalities, is a sleepy month, is good for the city, on the other hand, the initial outlay in terms of overtime for cops and the strain on services can be challenging. NOLA could use the influx of cash, but damn, it is hot down there in August...

Then, there's the idea of taking the flag to the lion's den; so perhaps a strong showing in TX, Bushland, or some other red state might not be a bad idea either.

It would be helpful, I think, to see the proposal packages. Does anyone know when they were submitted?

14. Louisianna Is Our Best Hope for Flipping A Red State

All that we need to do is hold onto the ones we won and flip one red state.

[WI_DEM]

16. I'm not so sure

I think Virginia has been trending bluer. Also LA has lost alot of African-American population.

[Laelth]

17. San Antonio

Take the message to Texas, the chimp home state. And San Antonio is a great, blue town (for those who have never had the opportunity to visit).

22. San Antonio is great...

and I would love to go check out the convention.

[mcscajun]

18. New Orleans, absolutely!

Can't think of anyplace else I'd rather see the Dems gather in '08.

[RB TexLa]

19. self serving Dallas n/t

[f-bush]

21. Hey what about Seattle?

We're liberal here and we great coffee. If you have the convention in August there's a good chance that it won't rain!
