[ClydeR]

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Capping off a months-long, bipartisan lobbying effort, Cleveland has been selected to host of the 2016 Republican National Convention.

Swing state. John Boehner's state. Etc.

Democrats are reportedly considering Birmingham, Columbus, New York, Philadelphia and Phoenix. I hope they choose Birmingham because that would be a disaster.

This time it will be in July. Cleveland never has hurricanes in July.


Republicans will hold their 2016 national convention more than a month earlier than their 2012 event for one simple reason: money.

Two years ago, Mitt Romney raised $1 billion but found himself out of cash that August due to campaign finance laws that essentially force candidates to divide their spending between pre-and-post convention accounts. Moving the convention up, the GOP reasons, will help make those rules a non-issue.
