Democratic Convention Watch: Thoughts on a Texas convention
Thursday, December 29, 2005
Thoughts on a Texas convention
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
Burnt Orange Report has an interesting thread discussing the pros and cons of a Texas city hosting the 2008 Democratic National Convention, as well as comments on other potential cities. Some of the comments on Texas cities:
Having a Democratic Convention in Dallas would probably indirectly help out the local parties, but I don’t think Dallas is on shortlist for the Convention. Houston might have a reasonable chance of getting the convention. I don’t see San Antonio getting the convention at all.

Democratic Convention Watch: Site selection timeline
Wednesday, December 28, 2005
Site selection timeline
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
This is the timeline for the 2008 Democratic National Convention site selection:
| January 13, 2006 | Deadline for cities to respond to an invitation to bid for the 2008 Convention |
| February 2006 | A formal Request for Proposal (RFP), containing detailed specifications for hosting the 2008 Convention, is sent to interested cities |
| May 2006 | Deadline for interested cities to submit formal responses to the RFP |
| Summer 2006 | Site visits |
| Late summer 2006 | Finalists named |
| Late Fall 2006/Winter 2007 | Announcement of 2008 Convention Host City |
I would expect 10-20 cities to show their interest by January 13 in hosting the convention, with 5-10 cities formally responding to the RFP.

Democratic Convention Watch: Atlanta update
Wednesday, December 14, 2005
Atlanta update
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
Andre at Georgia Politics Unfiltered pushes an Atlanta bid:
I’ve blogged previously about Atlanta hosting the 2008 Democratic National Convention & I’m seriously thinking about actively pursuing the task of encouraging our state and local leaders to go after the Democratic National Convention.
…
If you go back more than forty years, Democrats have only hosted their national convention in the South twice (Miami Beach in 1972 & Atlanta in 1988). If we follow that pattern, then the South is way over-due to host the Democratic Convention again and Atlanta (other than Miami Beach and possibly New Orleans) is the only southern city with the facilities and infrastructure that is needed to host a presidential nominating convention.

2008 site selection summary (updated 2/24/06)
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
The DNC sent out invitations to 35 cities to bid for the 2008 convention in late November ’05. On Feb 17, the DNC confirmed that eleven cities accepted the invitation to bid for the convention:
Anaheim: Held an event at the 2004 convention to kick-off their 2008 bid. With California not being competitive, and with the Dems in LA in 2000, I doubt this will happen.

2004 site selection – the final 4
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
This article in Campaigns & Elections was written in August ’02 and has some fascinating information on the 2004 site selection process:
In deciding what city should host their party’s 2004 convention, Democratic National Committee officials must juggle competing interests, including the host city’s financial strength and the party’s Electoral College prospects in that state.

Denver pushes bid at fall DNC meeting (update)
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
The DNC is meeting in Phoenix this week, and Denver continues to remain the most active city. Dan Slater at Dem Notes reported on Friday:
We are also continuing to promote the concept of Denver as the 2008 convention site. So far, responses have been quite positive to the possibility.
