Unusual Presidential Elections

[WONK]

Maybe Dems use of the revolution-history rich Boston is based on an alterior motive (trying to look mega-patriotic to average voter, who may see Dem presidential candidate rhetoric a little over the top)

I personally like the fact that Reps are heading straight into the lions den for the convention.  It might serve the Dems better if, rather than going to the safe haven of Boston, they went to a midwestern or southern city and tried to show average voter it's still safe to vote Dem, rather than having a love-in in Boston.

Great points by Ryan.

I read that too, about the town where you get fined $10 if you don't have a gun....BIZARRE...I was thinking rather than an E St. Louis convention, how about an outdoor convention in the Sunni Triangle of Iraq.
