"Tampa => Jeb Bush"

Jeb Bush lives in Miami. They picked FL because it's a state that went for Obama last election and is a crucial piece of the electoral pie. Why they picked UT and AZ is a mystery.

Announce that it’s in Tampa, but quietly hold it in SLC. Watch video of leftist morons protesting outside of empty Tampa Convention Center.

[Diogenesis]

We are talking about STATES not cities.

The STATES chosen were for the RINOs
McCAIN, ROMNEY, and BUSH.

Right? You betcha.

If you don't think FL is a crucial electoral state, then you haven't been paying attention. It has nothing to do with RINOs.

*PING*

[rabidralph]

I second it.

[hennie pennie]

Phoenix, Tampa, and Salt Lake City????? Are they nuts?

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

You’ll know the fix is in for Romney if Salt Lake gets the nod.

Anchorage doesn’t get hit by hurricanes, as far as I know, although an earthquake could happen any time. They may not have enough hotel space to host something as big as the RNC.

You’ll know the fix is in for Romney if Salt Lake gets the nod.

Yup. Just like choosing NYC proved the fix was in for Giuliani.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

They’re trying to force Romney on us! It’ll just alienate so many people to have it there considering all the city’s associated with. They should have in a swing state that’s suffered major economic downturn as a result of Obama’s policies—like Detroit, Michigan or something! That was the first state in Palin’s “Going Rogue” tour because McCain chose to stop campaigning there even though it was still up for grabs!

[CondoleezzaProtege]

They should have in a swing state that’s suffered major economic downturn as a result of Obama’s policies—like Michigan or something! Remember how disappointed Palin was when McCain chose to stop campaigning there even though it was still up for grabs? But come on, Salt Lake? They’re trying to force Romney on us! It’ll just alienate so many people to have it there, considering all the state is associated with. Bad message to Evangelical voters.

Cities bid. I don’t really care where it’s held, although I would like to see it in San Diego again.

:)

[FreeReign]

Salt Lake for Mitt and his fellow cult members.

Now we have "real conservatives" dissing a good conservative state, Utah.

Unbelievable.

[Sarah-bot]

Too bad it won’t be Las Vegas

[neverbluffer]

Absolutely,

Las Vegas would be the biggest slap in the face to Democrats.

Reoublicans would show the city/Nevada that we are with you all the way
