Officials are in the early stages of deciding if Salt Lake City wants to compete for the 2012 Republican National Convention — so early, in fact, that they have not yet formed a bid committee to decide.
Salt Lake City was invited by the Republican National Committee to attend an "interested parties" presentation in Washington, D.C., three weeks ago, said Scott Beck, president and chief executive officer of the Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Beck attended, along with a representative from the governor's office. There, they learned what requirements in terms of amenities a host city would have to have in order to land the convention and were given the official request for proposal. They concluded Salt Lake City could do it, but no decision about applying has been made, Beck said.
"We absolutely have the physical capacity, and having hosted the Olympics makes us a very, very viable city," he said.

With the hatred across all lines that Romney brings
(both ways because of his pathology),
and given that Romney HIDES behind his religion and SLC,
this idea would make Romney the center of the matter.
NOT a good idea.
"Next time you pass a tyrannical socialist healthcare bill, buy me dinner first, eh champ?"
They want this because the city’s powers-that-be think that Stake President Romney will be the nominee, or else that hosting the convention will MAKE him the nominee.
The Mitt-Wits just hoping to have a multiple orgasm en masse. Count me out.
And what happens when RINO Romney doesnt get the nomination ???
Walk out in a huff and support Barry or Hiilary ???
Talk ugly about the GOP candidate and undermined her ???
Are they going to cancel the convention ???
Throw everyone out of the building and state ???
What ???

I am absolutely certain that Utah will support Romney in the primaries but if Palin is the nominee they’ll transfer allegence on a dime.

Stay tuned for my encore— now where did that pesky Lone Ranger get to? ;-)
Utah has always been conservative and Republican. They gave Reagan a landslide five times over. They will support the favorite son but if Palin wins and heads the ticket they will first in line to support her.
Tennessee, on the other hand, has never been conservative, it has never been Republican and never will be either of these. While Reagan was racking up a fifty point win in Utah he won Tennessee by less than 1/2 of one percent. That margin was only slightly greater than his win in Massachusetts.
Tennessee was the opposition, the enemy, the anti-Reaganites.

Utah is Reagan.
That's the way it should be.
The blacks in Utah are better educated than the whites in Tennessee.
Now ROFLMBO again.
Loser.
Now ROFLMBO again.

Utah is very white of course (Mormon religion) and very republican but their support for the GOP candidates plummeted in 2008 while Obama made gains, it may be that as one of our less pro military states, that Utah has lost some enthusiasm for the GOP.
Another rejection of the Mormon candidate by conservatives might cause even more issues there for republicans.
Buzz off, Twinkie. LOLOL
Put down the crack pipe, Junior. Tennessee ain’t a liberal state, and if it was, Gore would’ve been President.
Negro, please !
Brilliant ! ;-D
