Did San Francisco really bid for the RNC convention?

[caligirl]

I am told that it was said on our AAR affiliate KQKE this morning. Could be a barn burner, really.

[NJ Democrats]

1. I heard that as well.

Even if they did, they won't win.

2. That could be....interesting.

To say the least.

3. I had the evil sort of laugh too. I don't think Newsome can afford the

cost, not just in $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.:nuke:

[fooj]

4. Bring it on, RNC!

:nuke:

5. No way!

Bush has never visited San Francisco. He's come close, but that only counts in horse shoes. No way will the Rethugs come here, because Bush and Cheney would have to come here and that would not happen.

This is just too funny. Can't imagine Newsome would sign on to this.

Practically the entire city marched when BushCo was selected in 2000. No way will this go down well.

6. They were sent a "BID REQUEST" ... Does NOT mean they bid.

If Matt drops in again, he can confirm that.

The GOPPERS haven't announced which cities have decided to bid yet.

8. Chicago already turned them down

Wouldn't it be hilarious if they received numerous rejections?

7. I think the Republicans should hold their 2008 convention at

Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Set and setting are everything.

9. They wouldn't have to worry about having enough security

10. LOL! : ) / nt

11. The last time republicans came

Was when they nominated Goldwater. I don't think they want to come again. But in that case, Please! come again!

12. The prostitutes will make a killing.

13. Can't they have it at Katharine Armstrong's Ranch? I'll donate the beer!
