2008 Convention
Saturday, February 18, 2006

I think it would be very cool if Detroit were to get the DNC Convention, we already had the Superbowl, All Star game and in 2007 I believe we have the NCAA Final Four. This would keep the momentum from the Superbowl going and revitalize downtown even more. I know it won't happen tho, I think its between Denver and New Orleans. Denver would be very cool with a lot of the West turning blue but NO would be the sentimental choice. I see it being NO, the Dems will want to exploit Katrina just like the Repubs did with 9/11 back in 2004.

DNC Will Seek Bids From 11 Cities

The list of eleven cities expressing interest in hosting the Democratic National Convention in '08 are:

• Anaheim, CA


• Dallas, TX


• Denver, CO


• Detroit, MI


• Las Vegas, NV


• Minneapolis, MN


• New Orleans, LA


• New York, NY


• Orlando, FL


• Phoenix, AZ


• San Antonio, TX (Hotline sources, 2/17)

Las Vegas has the West, plenty of hotel rooms, party spaces and Harry Reid juice but there's that liberal Sin City taint. (If only Henderson made a bid...) Texas is attractive to Dems for obvious reasons -- Dallas more so than San Antonio. Detroit has a shot if it the economy turns around. New Orleans is a sentimental favorite; the '08 convention there could signal a "national renaissance." NYC ought never be ruled out and is probably the most secure city; Orlando has the hotel rooms but not the arena. Denver is the wildcard; a popular Dem mayor, a great purple state, clean, fresh air..
