2008 RNC down to four cities

[Lincoln Republican]

New Orleans, it would give them another chance to politicize national disasters.

^^ Stick with the tradition!  I'm somewhat of a traditionalist myself.  I don't want the Thanksgiving games to be taken from Detroit and Dallas, and I don't want the GOP to stop exploting dead people for political gain.

Doe the name Wellstone ring any bells?

True. 

The Democrats use of the Wellstone memorial for political purposes was a new low.

Shameful.

When the Democrats go to Denver the Republicans should go to Minneapolis.

[zorkpolitics]

Cleveland, since the Republicans don't need MN, but of the other three must win states, OH is likely to tbe the closest.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Cleveland makes the most strategical sense to me.

[Michael Z]

Something tells me they'll hold it in Tampa. Just a gut feeling.

They better fix that little I-4 problem first.

Naw, this is a real intersection. BART goes down the middle.

Except they didn't. It was a memorial for one of the most popular (in terms of how much his base liked him) senators of the past quarter-century; of course there were going to be people saying, "Let's win this election for Paul Wellstone." I don't see what is so bad about that. If you cram 15,000 die-hard Democrats into a building to commemorate one of the most tragic events of their lifetimes, they are going to express some emotion. Shame on the GOP for twisting the story.

Shame on the GOP for twisting the story.

Yeah, Republican Governor Jesse Ventura should be embarrassed.

So? That's one man's opinion, and he's not exactly the most astute man in Minnesota either.

Republicans who came to pay their respects to Wellstone were booed at and treated badly.  The problem with those people is that they hated their political adversaries more than they loved Wellstone, and it showed.

That's the problem with liberals today in a nutshell -- their hatred for many things far exceeds any positive ideas or feelings that they have.  The Wellstone funeral incident was an accurate illustration of that, and that is why it had the impact that it did.

You can blame Republicans for twisting the story if you like (I don't think they really did), but it would be healthier to address the problem that liberalism faces in offering positive ideas.
