GOP boycotting Arizona in 2012?

It's being reported that later today the Republican Naitonal Committee will announce that they have selected Tampa, Florida, to host the 2012 Republican National Convention.

But the interesting part of this story is found in this little nugget about why Phoenix, Arizona, was eliminated from consideration:

The operatives said Phoenix was eliminated, largely because Arizona in late August reminds Republicans of their sweltering 1992 convention in Houston. And the Grand Canyon State is facing boycotts because of its new immigration law, which would not present an inviting face for the party.

1. because making it look good now

3. I have read...
that Charlotte, Cleveland, Phoenix, St. Louis, and Chicago are the Democratic options. I was hoping for Detroit but I doubt that will happen. I doubt Phoenix will get picked after the immigration nonsense.
