RNC '12 to be Held in Tampa

The news:

The Republican National Committee’s Site Selection Committee is recommending the party hold its presidential nominating convention in Tampa-St.Petersburg in 2012, the RNC announced this afternoon.

Tampa beat out Phoenix and Salt Lake City for the event. Minneapolis-St. Paul hosted the 2008 event.

I was hoping for Phoenix just to really stick it to the left – but Tampa will be fine because we’re going to mop the floor with Obama in that State in 2012.
