Experts See Drawbacks to GOP Convention in NY

They are pretty unlikely to be holding their convention after the 9-11 commission's report is issued. I think that the Bush administration will be the loser of the report, but I still believe Bush will highlight the immediate post 9-11 society in his speech.

Boston turned out to be a good choice. First of all it lets the party center around Kerry. The second reason is that I can go stand outside and meet delegates and party staffers.

It just enforces the 'Massachusetts liberal' thing and puts the south further out of reach.

Where could they have held it then withouy being accused of having it being a one-week campaign stop?

Detroit is kind of a small low powered city to hold a convention. Baltimore could have been a decent choice, although I'll doubt they'll retry that after 1860.

Detroit is a fading city- no offense- and I don't believe it has a good stadium. Actually I don't think Baltimore has a good basketball stadium either.
