Don’t believe reports of more delays
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
There’s an AP story on some sites, for example, here on MSNBC, which says:
“The Democratic National Committee is pushing back a decision on the site of its 2008 national convention until next month.”
But looking closely at the story and the distribution on various new sites, including some dated a few days ago, I believe this is a copy of the December story about the delay into January, not a new delay into February.
Update: The Rocky Mountain News confirms that the story is bogus. (Hattip to Corinne in the comments):
A report on MSNBC’s Web site Tuesday said the decision on where to hold the Democratic National Convention might be postponed until February, but a Democratic spokesman said that wasn’t true.
“The report is erroneous,” said Damien LaVera, spokesman for the Democratic National Committee. He said he would ask MSNBC to remove the story.
LaVera said Democratic Chairman Howard Dean still intends to choose this month between Denver and New York City to host the convention.
Not surprisingly, the story is still up on MSNBC’s web site.
