I would like to see Detroit, but other good cities could be Dallas, Houston, Tampa-St.Pete, Columbus, Indianapolis or Phoenix.

Or in New Orleans...

Draw some attention to how f**ked up things are and how much work needs doing.

18. And maybe some of that high-speed train that the stimulus money built will be on its way..
and the Dems can peacock around it like idiots... AND summer-time revenue flow would be great for the area.

25. You've touched on a good point.

6. Being totally selfish here...
a certain tiny little Hilltown in Western Mass.

This place could use a bit of livening up


I could probably bunk two or three delegates on my extra futon in the basement. :7

7. Kansas City
Or some other middle American ciy. I'd love to make the New Orleans statement ( & my daughter is a student @ Tulane) but I think it could be twisted around negatively.

19. Only if they don't make it a fortress again
It was like something out of a war movie w/ the barricades, searches and gestopo type security.

Thanks to Obama's speech and the great time I had AWAY from Fleet Center, it was pretty nice. :)

They won't give it to Michigan--we're still in the doghouse for the primary, I'm convinced.

38. St. Louis or Kansas City...
keep in squarely in the middle of America. Make it easier to get to and reach out to the red state folks who've taken in the shorts financially over the past decade. If they'd listen to the message, we'd have a pretty good shot at winning their votes.
