Tampa's Other Attractions

Unmentioned in news this morning that the Republican party will pick Tampa as the site for their 2012 national convention: Ben Smith points out the city is known as the "lap dance capital of the world" with 56 different clubs that are adult-oriented.

Given the scandal over RNC expenses at a "bondage-themed nightclub" earlier this year, one wonders if this was a wise choice.

1. But will there be enough luggage handlers to supply Republicon desires?
Edited on Wed May-12-10 01:58 PM by SpiralHawk
And one certainly hopes that G.O.P. planners have made sure there are plenty of faux lesbian bondage clubs, a certified Republicon Family Values fav.

10. That's probably the main reason they chose it, come to think of it
It's not quite as in your face as Las Vegas or the seedier areas of NYC, so they can pass it off as shoring up support in what used to be a deep red state.

But yeah, all those strip clubs are why it beat Orlando out, even with the superior convention and lodging infrastructure there.

16. Lots of hookers, drugs and gambling, and used to be very mobbed up.
They chose very well indeed for their delegates comfort and entertainment.

17. Nah, you got them wrong
they will go for Sunday Service at the Mega Church... I am sure there are a few that can meet their needs.

And we bow our head in prayer... you know. How could you think they will be going THERE?
