Alright you Ohio Republicans, Tea Partiers and all those leaning to the Right. Now is the time to make your Mark. Time to get in the game early. It will be held at the Arena. 35k Visitors and expected 200 Mill in Economic Boost for the city.

As Vesper reminded me.....get ready for the battle-lines to be drawn. All those TV and Radio Ads. All those Robo-Calls. What say ye?



Republicans Pick Cleveland Over Dallas for Convention.....

Republicans chose Cleveland on Tuesday for their 2016 national convention, with the hope of appealing to Rust Belt voters who eluded them in the last two presidential elections, and an acknowledgment of the political value of ending the party’s nomination process sooner.

The city edged out Dallas after a review by the Republican National Committee that narrowed the field to the two finalists last week. Both cities aggressively courted party officials, with Dallas presenting cheerleaders and a parade of elephants, and Cleveland turning to the Browns’ first-round draft pick Johnny Manziel, a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback. The choice must be ratified at a meeting of the full Republican National Committee next month in Chicago.

While each party lost the state where it held its 2012 conventions, Republicans believe holding their convention in a vital swing state will help them from an organizational and message standpoint. They were also mindful of history: No Republican has won the White House without carrying Ohio.

A convention in Ohio — highlighting the state’s top elected Republicans like Senator Rob Portman, who supports same-sex marriage, and Gov. John R. Kasich, who expanded Medicaid under the health care law — also allows the party to project a more moderate image than a convention in Texas, where party leaders include Senator Ted Cruz, a Tea Party favorite who may also seek the nomination.....snip~

I'm surprised they didn't pick Cincinnati. It's a city in which the GOP actually win a majority of the surrounding counties. Cleveland and it's burbs are solid Blue. The R putting thier convention in Cleveland would be like the Democrats placing theirs in Omaha.

I wanted Dallas, but..... Texas is safe and Ohio is teetering. Thus, its best to fire up support in Ohio.

The road to the White House goes through Ohio. Ohio picked the winning president in the last 11 elections. That's why the 2016 RNC is in Ohio.

lol, if they're counting on that, they didn't do their homework---no surprise there. This is the GOP we're talking about, after all.

Since 1996, the state where the RNC held it's convention has voted Blue. :lol:

The GOP, they really are the gang that can't shoot straight.

It doesnt matter where they have it. Its a useless thing which only appeals to the media and partisans.

Heya J5. :2wave: Here is the other reason why.



Priebus insisted his party's convention be scheduled for early summer 2016, roughly two months sooner than has become the norm. That would give the GOP's next presidential nominee quicker access to tens of millions of dollars in general election cash.

"The candidate can be broke, but they're not able to raise general election money until the convention is held," Priebus said earlier this week.

If the RNC insists on its preferred date and weeks of early access to hang balloons and bunting, the Cavaliers could be forced to look at other venues for post-season play. Ohio State University's basketball arena in Columbus is one such option.....snip~

James' return to Cleveland could complicate GOP
