Democrats Won’t Choose 2008 Convention City Until January 2007

December 21st, 2006

The Democratic National Committee says it won’t choose its national convention site for 2008, until January 2007. The leading contenders are New York city and Denver. Four years ago at this time, the Democratic Party had already chosen its 2004 site, Boston. Thanks to poster #1 for making this posting more accurate.

Republicans announced months ago that they are meeting in Minneapolis in 2008. See the June 1, 2006 B.A.N. for a list of major party sites and dates of presidential conventions going back to 1856.

    You’re mistaken on the GOP in New York. They did not choose New York as their site until January, 7, 2003. (New York Times, Jan 7, 2003).

    Denver is by far the best choice for the Democrats. The Democratic party needs to reach out to the the country West of the Mississippi. Focusing on just New York and the large cities that always vote Democrat will not help the Dems to expand the base of the party or to reach out to the very large number of independent voters.
