What a dumb move.

That's my analysis.

Besides our own homegrown lefties and unionistas, you have Toledo, Youngstown, Pittsburgh and Detroit - all within an easy drive or bus ride.

It'll be a zoo with the sympathetic media spending more time covering the kook protesters and miscreants than the convention. And Lord help the GOP if anything goes wrong even if it isn't their fault.

I see a lot of downsides, and very few upsides. Republicans don't even bother to run for half the offices in this city, that's how reflexively blue it is - having the convention here isn't going to do squat for the party.
