Update on 2004 cities invited to bid
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
I recently listed the 34 cities invited to bid on the 2004 convention, which was taken from Democracy in Action’s excellent summary of the 2004 site selection process:
Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City (MO), Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Portland (OR), San Antonio, San Diego, St. Louis, St. Paul, San Francisco, Sacramento, Seattle, Salt Lake City and Washington, DC
However, elsewhere in the article it clearly states that Baltimore was involved in the bid process, although it is not shown in the list. This would make a total of 35 cities.
On the other hand, Minneapolis and St. Paul are both shown. While they are clearly separate cities, any bid from them would clearly be combined, so they should probably be considered 1 city. So the updated list would be:
Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City (MO), Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Milwaukee, Minneapolis/St, Paul, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, Portland (OR), San Antonio, San Diego, St. Louis, San Francisco, Sacramento, Seattle, Salt Lake City and Washington, DC.
