| 1867 was the last time a Republican National Convention was held in Cincinnati. Rutherford B. Hayes was nominated to be the Republican candidate for President. Now a Cincinnati resident wants to bring it back. If you're a Facebook member you can view the group here. Bring The 2012 Republican National Convention To Cincinnati The 2012 Republican National Convention needs to be in a city that can handle the size and magnitude. That city is Cincinnati. We have U.S. Bank Arena or the Duke Energy Center where the regular convention could be held, then we have either Paul Brown Stadium or Great American Ballpark where the nominee could give their acceptance speech. Also, Ohio is a must-win for the GOP in 2012 and there is no better place to start than Cincinnati.
The Democratic National Convention was hosted by Cincinnati in 1856 and 1880. Cleveland hosted the convention in both 1924 and 1936. This group is to be used as a support base for members to begin campaigning to bring the Republican National Convention to Cleveland, Ohio. Our immediate goal is for 2012 but will continue to work for 2016 and beyond.
Cleveland was a finalist for the 2008 Republican National Convention but lost out to St. Paul. Ohio is always a key state in every presidential election. It would be a great boost to the economy in Ohio as well as increase support for Republicans in all of Ohio if the Republican National Convention comes here. It would also bring much needed boost to Cleveland's image and put us back on the map.
San Diego has a Facebook group called San Diego for the 2012 Republican National Convention
San Diego, CA is a typically democrat area. The state of CA as a whole typically votes democrat.
By holding the Republican National Convention in San Diego, the GOP may be able to capture more supporters in CA than normal.
Please join the group and invite all of your friends. We can make San Diego,CA the location of the next Republican Nation Convention.
It must be noted that San Diego County, up until last year, has been primarily Republican for more than two decades. Hardly a "typically democrat area". The final and largest group is from Atlanta.With 599 members it is without a doubt the most active of the groups. Atlanta for the 2012 Republican National Convention This is a group for supporters to bring the 2012 national GOP convention to Atlanta.
There is one interesting note that could make winning the convention a little more difficult for both Ohio and Georgia. As we wrote in July, the RNC does not allow a city to be selected if a member of the selection committee is from that state. As Matt noted, if one of the cities looks to be favored, the committee member would more than likely resign. Tomorrow we'll take a look at the Democratic Facebook groups asking for the 2012 Democratic National Convention. |
