Mo. Health Care Vote = CLT DNC 2012

Posted August 4th, 2010 at 5:49 PM by Jeff Taylor

Lock it down folks. I think the only really serious comp for Charlotte’s bid to host the DNC gala in 2012 has just been taken off the board by Missouri voters. When 70 plus percent of a state’s voters rebuke the signal policy of an incumbent president — you tell me how likely it is that the nominating convention for that president’s second term comes to town. In this case, St. Louis.

Maybe the DNC doubles back to Minny for some squeeze vs. Charlotte, and should the Uptown fundraising machine falter, yeah maybe the DNC lands there. But I doubt it.

The DNC is coming to Charlotte in 2012. Write it down.

    I just want to be the first to offer my guest room to anyone who voted for ObaMessiah in ’08 and who will be protesting his actions as George Bush III.

    It would be awesome if CLT DNC 2012 featured the dethronement of Obama by Democrat delegates from across the country.

    Beyond that, though, I’ve no use for it — I live and work in Uptown and I see this being incredibly disruptive to me personally, not even factoring in the presence of so many Democrat dummies.

    At the very least, Dems don’t have someone like Michael Steele and Rush Limbaugh running the party. Talk about dummies–and these are your leaders!

    Do Rachel “there’s-a-fish-hook-in-my-mouth” Maddow and Chris “tingling down my leg” Matthews run the DNC?

    BTW, there’s a Libertarian running for Congress who’s got Matthew Lesko wearing his question mark jacket and screaming while running into the camera, so I don’t think the LP leadership is too good either.

    I wish I had gotten the idea to make the blue pages into a book like Lesko did and market the heck out of it. I could have worn my Time Lord from Gallifrey costume in the commercials

    I kinda think David Tennett gives Tom Baker a run for his money as the Doctor. His companion Rose was much better looking than Leela. The new Doctor matt Smith is growing on me and Amy Pond is cute.

    It’s amazing that Romana is now married to Richard Dawkins.
