1. How about calling it ...

... the home of the 2012 Democratic National Convention?

2. If it's not too late to move it...

they should.

3. I'm in the Denver metro area ...

... and, yeah, it is too late.

People just don't understand how big the convention is. It took months and months and thousands of people and millions of dollars to stage the 2008 convention here.

I understand why politically they picked Charlotte, but I thought even then it was a mistake.

4. I figured it'd be too late....

I'm so disappointed in the vote! I was hoping it wouldn't pass.

5. I lived there many years ago but I know how slowly things change

in Dixie and I knew it was a mistake. They're going to have every white trash preacher in the state (and there are thousands) exhorting their congregations to refuse to do business with the conventioneers, to march against them, and worse.

We'll have to see how far they get.
