BOSTON (AP) City leaders lured the Democrats with lobsters, Red Sox games, and the promise of millions in corporate contributions.
They wooed relentlessly, giving party officials complimentary cell phones and then peppering them with text messages about Boston's historic wonders as they toured other cities competing for the honor of hosting the 2004 national convention.

Roadblocks???? You mean they're STILL not done with that Big Dig thing?
Or should I say Big Digger?

What party does the mayor belong to? Why are they comparing the Governor to the Mayor?

I think it would be hilarious if some bunch of union goons pickets the Dim convention - would ANYone in that bunch DARE to cross a picket line?

The police are not allowed to go on strike. So off-duty they will picket, and on-duty they will maintain order. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Roadblocks???? You mean they're STILL not done with that Big Dig thing?Some goofball politician (Representative Capuano) wants to name the Big Dig tunnel to Logan Airport the Tip O'Neil tunnel. I propose the either misspell all the name to "You Been O'Nailled Tunnel" or the "Tube of the American Taxpayer".
Oh, yes, and Representative Capuano, one of the people who claims to be looking out for the "little guy", has suggested we all take the entire week off.
I know what I intend to do -- but it's not the week of the Dimocraps' convention, it is the day of November 2, 2004 -- vote against every Dimocrap on the ballot.
