Texas delegation’s hotel is 10 miles from downtown Denver
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
As Matt stated in earlier posts some states were given hotel assignments that they weren’t too happy about. Here’s yet another story from the great state of Texas.
Texas will be sharing a hotel with American Samoa ten miles from the Pepsi Center when the convention comes to town. According to the Dallas Morning News the Texas delegation will be staying in the Radisson Hotel Denver Southeast which is about a 20-30 minute drive to downtown Denver on a good day with no traffic and a tailwind.
It certainly isn’t the first time Texas Democrats got less-than-primo lodgings.
In 2004, in Boston, they got stuck at the airport Hilton – nice enough, but a hike by trolley or shuttle to the convention site. In 1992, it was a Days Inn in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood.
Maybe if Texas can pull out a win for the Democrats in 2008 they’ll get first choice on hotels for 2012.

You’re right… 225 is always a nightmare.
I changed it to the following:
