Last night on his talk radio show, Hugh Hewitt was dishing out some slightly amusing, if incredibly ill-informed, bashing of the greater Twin City metropolis of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Now, Hugh knows about as much about the Twin Cities as he does wine, hockey, music, and _____(fill in the blank), but I have to agree with Hugh that the 2008 GOP convention should not be held here.
In fact, as a blogger and hobby talk radio host, I am much more interested in seeing the Democrats bring their 2008 convention circus to town. We could witness the coronation of Queen Hil. Or the touching comeback of Al Gore (sure to melt even the coldest of ice-capped hearts). Or the return of the living dead, with John Kerry in the lead role. Maybe the Kos kidz fantasies will come true and Russ Feingold will be at the top of the Dem ticket (please, oh please). Or a dark horse like Chris Dodd (who?) might break away from the pack.
No matter who eventually emerges as the Democratic candidate, the 2008 convention should be a riot (perhaps even literally). Cleveland or Tampa or some other second-tier city in desperate need of a shot of self-esteem can have the 2008 GOP convention. We want the Dems.
