POLITICO has this exclusive story, predicting that the Republican National Committee is about to name Tampa as the site for the party’s 2012 national convention. The only major party national conventions that have ever before been held in Florida were in Miami Beach. Democrats met there in 1972, and Republicans met there in 1968 and 1972.
I think you meant the only major party national conventions that have ever before been held in “Florida” were in Miami Beach.
Yes, thank you. I fixed it.
G. Gordon Liddy has said that, when the Democrats convened in Miami Beach in 1972, President Nixon’s agents tried to lure prominent Democrats to a yacht, on which there were prostitutes.
