Little Rock is dreary and corrupt. There is probably no place where I would want to have the convention less than Little Rock. Plus, it is not a realistic site; it is difficult to get to, and it is kinda small for a convention.
I guess you know the area better than I do. I chose these sites because they were in states that I saw as being populist-leaning.
What do you think about the others I mentioned, though?
Heh, acctually, I have never been to Little Rock, but I know quite a few people who used to live there.
If you want to go for a site that is kinda a "lost hope" city, then I would go with Buffalo. That's why I suggested it. Old manufacturing city. Good work ethic, but in major decline over recent... well pretty much the whole last half-a-century.
Also, I like Kansas City. The whole "Heartland" thing gets our message accross pretty well, but then again, we could do that in any mid-west city.
The challenege for us will be to prove that we are not a party that only focuses on traditionally "populist" areas, but have solutions for the cities as well, and that is why I favor a Northeastern site.
