Best news I have read all day.
The cost to the taxpayers would have been a lot.
No thanks.
What would the cost have been? It would have been a boon for the local economy. Partisanship is getting in the way of common sense here, as Pols notes.
The real Republican way always involves OPM . . .
. . . damn. I was so looking forward to the money I would have made from renting my bungalow to Mitt and Ann !
I think it makes the Rs look extra hypocritical to choose a venue based on how many tax dollars they're offered.
Not that they mind.
Democratic Governor, Black Democratic Mayor? Legal pot and civil unions? Money had nothing to do with it. Not bagger enough.
And:
Colorado – Purple state – 9 electoral votes
Ohio – Swing state – 20 electoral votes.
Swing? Not anymore. Not after what Kasich and Portman has done to Ohio.
They'll be out in a short order, and the 20 EV's will go to the Democratic Party. Permanently.
We may never know for sure the exact reasons for declining Denver as a host city but legalized pot could have been a factor–the majority of the Republican Party opposes legalization.
I really doubt that had anything to do with it. I think they would have really enjoyed getting stoned legally. The old purity laws to close the Sid King down, leaving no strippers and booze together probably had more effect.
It may have had an effect ..in reverse.
When I was much younger, my previous wife and I did a couple of seasons cleaning for a living in Breckenridge. Almost without exception, the messiest, most drunken, and out of control groups were the church groups from, what are now, bright red states. When the fetters of repression are removed, the most repressed tend to respond most aggressively…I think that is fair to say. It certainly was our observation.
Maybe the Republican Party leadership just know their base too well…
Maybe we should have highlighted the availability of quality microbrew beer EVEN MORE. Well, let them drink Lone Star.
Tragedy!
The goobers love public-private partnerships. You know, private profit at public expense.
Nice news to come home from a long day at the court…
I didn't want the stench to come in and make me hide for two weeks.
It'll end up being in Dallas, where no-one cares except Moddy, Fladen, and maybe Head Banger..
If the Republcian National Convention is in Dallas, the Republican Party will basically talking to themselves instead of attempting to increase their political market-share (so to speak).
Also, there *WILL* be a time when no major cities will want the RNC anywhere, except Bumfuck, Idaho, or Northern Marinana Islands.
It depends on how you define "major city." If you define "major city" as a city with a population of 1/2 million in the city proper, I can't think of too many that the GOP has a snowballs chance in hell of winning. Major cities don't via for an RNC convention because they agree with them–most major cities are solidly Democratic–they vie for it because of the economic and publicity benefits.
Dallas? Do I remember right in that Dallas voted (mostly) for Democrats in the last General Election?
