I thought we had a chance until you said organize 5,000 volunteers. We'd have to get 5,000 Teamsters' and Stagehands' union people.

Steve Sebelius, in the newspaper this morning, gave a run down on all the competing cities, their pro's and con's, and seems to think we're way ahead of the race to win it. I've emailed him a couple times, no response, and no, I never asked him: What kind of prescription or non-prescription drugs do you use, or do you use a little of each?

Kansas City: Outside a good BBQ, new arena, the city has virtually nothing to recommend it to the Republican faithful. The 1976 Republican Nati'l Convention was held here.

New Orleans: A Democratic city still a little sore over the whole Hurricane Katrina thing.

Phoenix: His comments: In the summer? It's hotter than Las Vegas, without the air-conditioned casino's.

Salt Lake City: His comments: They're Republicans and they're not dead.

Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus: His brilliant comments: The downside? Nobody has ever associated these cities with any type of fun-having: I'm going to Cleveland!" Just doesn't have the ring of "I'm going to Vegas, baby!" Yes, all 3 cities in the critical swing state of Ohio, and the Republicans need to win Ohio and an Ohio convention would boost their chances.

Chicago: The murder capital of the U.S.! Plus, former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel is mayor, and you know that's a recipe for trouble.

Dallas: Just as we've forgotten GW Bush and Rick Perry, we're going to set up shop in their home state, a state known as headquarters for Big Oil, big execution and restricting abortion rights? As the noisome phrase goes: "bad optics".

Orlando: A Mickey Mouse convention? A slog to Florida in the summertime, when the temp's and humidity both exceed 100, it's time to move on.

Does this help you guess as to whether or not we're going to win it, with some of Steve's brilliant comments?

Yup! I can just see it! All these conservative Republicans yelling: I'm going to Vegas, baby!

I certainly hope so. We can make loads of money off the candidates while insuring that more than a few of them succumb to temptation and immediately DQ themselves.
