Eleven cities sent back the Democrats request about interest for the 2008 National Convention. What did they expect?
"Thanks, but no thanks. We don't want your dollars or economic capital from thousands coming to town."
Most cities would love to land this much-needed economic shot in the arm. The other 19 cities need to elect leaders that know how to use envelopes and stamps, obviously.
WASHINGTON Feb 27, 2006 (AP)--Eleven cities have shown interest in playing host to the 2008 Democratic National Convention, twice the number of cities that applied to get the 2004 gathering.
The DNC initially sent out letters to more than 30 cities, giving them an overview and finding out their level of interest.
I guess August 25-28 is when we will find out if the Dems can put out in front a true leader that can dig the country out of the mess it's in now.
The Democratic National Committee has asked cities to send their bids to the DNC by May 19. The DNC's technical advisory committee will sort through the proposals and visit most or all of those cities sometime this summer. The convention is scheduled for Aug. 25-28, 2008.
Who shall be the true voice of reason and change in this country?
I'm going out on a limb here, but the "stern as a hawk," strong wife of a former president/love-machine may be that much needed change.
