Democrats Having Second Thoughts About Convention In NC(It is all falling apart for the Democrats!)

Democrats who already were queasy about the site of their national convention could be excused after Tuesday's election in North Carolina if they asked, "Tell me again just why we're going to Charlotte this year?" In fact, many Democrats privately are asking exactly that after the state's voters overwhelmingly approved a measure outlawing not just same-sex marriage -- which already was illegal in North Carolina -- but also any form of civil unions. Almost immediately after the vote, more than 20,000 people signed a "move the convention" petition being pushed by a New York group called Gay Marriage USA. And Twitter accounts lit up with hundreds of angry tweets demanding the party pull out of Charlotte.

Hehehe.. Democrats are starting to implode

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I wonder how many millions it will cost them to back out and find new accomodations at this late date. Hee Hee.

Come to NC dems, have a gay old time!!!

They can probably muscle their way into Chicago for some under the table promises for “free”.

[Biggirl]

Watching the Democrats meltdown in progress. Get the popcorn ready.

As a resident of NC, I wholeheartedly endorse the idea of them taking their filth and slime elsewhere. Good riddance.

“Tell me again just why we’re going to Charlotte this year?”

Tell me again just why liberals are always filled with vitriol and hate toward those they have honest disagreements with?

Last I heard, the election was going to come down to one group of people in one county in NC...

I guess that’s out the window now.

Chicago . . .

1968 . . .

I like it!

Given the high likelyhood of OWS (Obama’s Whiney Supporters) related riots, does any city really want the DNC?

[Keith in Iowa]

The should move it to Des Moines... and have the ousted Iowa Supreme Court Justices as headline guests... < /sarc>

[dfwgator]

Only if they bring back Mayor Daley....at least he did some good back then.

[MrB]

The truth does not favor liberalism.
Having to defend the indefensible is pretty hard on a person.

[Jim from C-Town]

Cleveland pushed hard for the Democrat convention and putting the convention there sould have done well for the Democrats possibly taking Ohio.

Now they are in a Southern state that is very homophobic and NON-UNION. Good job a-holes!

[Vigilanteman]

As a person with extended family in both Carolina's, I share your sentiment. Maybe we should all sign the petition and send them packing to Martha's Vineyard or San Fransicko.

[Izzy Dunne]

I suggest a site about 500 miles DUE EAST of Charlotte...

[FlingWingFlyer]

Boycott that puppy!!! Maybe Humpy Wheeler will stop embarrassing himself by trying to get NASCAR fans to donate 40 million dollars to pay for the commie ‘RATS’ “convention” there.

It’s a race to the bottom/collapse between both the Dems and the GOPs. I just hope the Dems get there first.

Funny. The irony if they do move, is that Charlotte probably is friendly toward homosexuals even if the rest of the state is not. But hey, once you decide to live or die by pimping special interests, it's too late to think straight.
