Unrequited love is so heartbreaking. ;)

ugh
This has a 1000 X better chance of happening over hosting the Olympics or equally doubtfull landing an NBA team.
Bear in mind that the free press for the city and its convention biz would be amazing. This is something the city should go after - hard.
Both parties should want to come here. A case could be made for Columbus being the most important city in the election.
I would have to agree that Columbus has a very high % of independant voters.
If we're going to have to deal with election year madness the city should reap whatever financial benefit they can.
What's all the "ugh" for? You have 5 days to a week of a large convention (20K or so) spending money in the city, and then for the most part we hopefully won't have to deal with candidates visiting the area every other week - ok, maybe that last part will still happen but in theory whichever party would come here wouldn't need to come back here a bunch to drum up support, right? Who knows though, it is Ohio...
i've made my thoughts on this clear, i shant repeat them. I just loath partisans and their followers.
