That'll be the earliest that either party has held their convention since the Dems in 1992.  It's also the first time since 2004 that we'll have one of the two parties hold their convention before the Olympics.

No need to have the convention later any more since 9/11 lost its magic once the black Democrat had OBL killed.

Good! Now me and my buddies know what days to protest these homophobic douchebags. Cheesy

Republicans aren't welcomed in Cleveland, and they screwed over the chance of us getting the DNC here. There's still the chance Columbus gets it, but not the same. :/

As someone who lives in the suburbs of Cleveland, I hope you are aware...that there is almost no Democratic Party left in the state of Ohio.

The entire legislature is Republican. The Ohio House, the Ohio Senate, Governor, Attorney General, ect.

Even the Ohio Supreme Court is 6-1 conservative.

But go ahead and protest. This is America. I support your right to look like a goofball.

People can still protest. I might be there, and that would be new for me. There will be plenty of GOP ideology to protest. I am even thinking of some placards...

And 6 years ago the state was dominated by Democrats. What's your point?

More than that, I hope he's aware that over-generalizing a large swath of people by calling all its members "homophobic douchebags" isn't becoming or productive.

I want them to keep doing this though. Because the more they do this, the more they risk the "Obama Coalition" becoming the "Rainbow Coalition" again.

Btw, according to this story:

http://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/7/71/303546/decision-looms-democrats-2016-convention-site

Democrats are trying to decide between two options for the timing of the DNC:

1) the week of July 25 (one week after the RNC)

2) the week of August 22 (just after the Olympics)

The bigger TV audience would likely be before the Olympics. I would hope both conventions are out of the way by August. I don't care for them afterwards.

I don't think this is worth starting a whole new thread over, so I'll hijack this thread: The DNC has just announced that they will open the Democratic convention (location still TBD) on July 25th, the week after the RNC (and before the Olympics):
