Democratic Convention Watch: While we’re talking about anniversaries…

While we’re talking about anniversaries…
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
I wrote below about how the GOP might end their convention on the 7th anniversary of 9/11.
Well, the Democrats have their own anniversary to deal with. The 2008 Democratic nominee will be giving his or her acceptance speech on August 28, 2008, which is one day before the 3rd anniversary of Hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans.
There’s a discussion over at Daily Kos on whether the convention should be held in New Orleans. Opinion is split – this is going to be a tough decision for the DNC.

Detroit still is unsure whether they are going to bid for the 2008 Democratic Convention:
“We have expressed interest in receiving the bidding papers from the Democratic Party,” Ceeon Quiett, spokeswoman for Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, said Monday. “But we have not made any decisions about either convention.”

Democratic Convention Watch: More buzz for Denver

More buzz for Denver
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
The buzz continues for Denver, with some quotes from the Denver Post today:
“I think Denver looks very, very good,” said Debbie Willhite, who helped direct past Democratic conventions, President Clinton’s inauguration and the Summit of the Eight in Denver in 1997. “Denver is an ideal place to really introduce the party to the West in the 21st century in a way that explains where we stand on a lot of issues that I don’t believe we’ve been clear about.”

Will Mary Kay keep the convention out of Dallas?
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
All sorts of interesting information in today’s Dallas Morning News, in an excellent article written by Dave Levinthal:
Although Dallas government and political leaders say they’ll aggressively pursue hosting either the 2008 Republican or Democratic national convention, a top tourism official questions whether the quadrennial gatherings would prove more trouble than benefit, as they could interfere with the city’s most lucrative business bash.

Congressional Quarterly convention overview
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
The Congressional Quarterly just published a nice overview of the 2008 convention site selection process for both parties. Some info of note:
The DNC is one step ahead of the RNC, having winnowed its original list. Yet the 11 cities that have expressed interest more than doubles the list of just five interested cities at this point prior to the 2004 election. “We’re very pleased with the unprecedented interest in hosting the Democratic National Convention,” said Vega.

2008 GOP nominee to give acceptance speech on 9/11/08?
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
When will the GOP hold their 2008 convention?
The Democrats have stated they are holding their convention the week of 8/25, right after the Beijing Summer Olympics. Historically, the party holding the White House gets to hold their convention last, which would force the GOP to schedule their convention in September.
