| Looks like Charlotte made a good impression on the GOP: Senior Republican strategist Charlie Black said Wednesday he would “love to see” his party choose Charlotte for its 2016 national convention. “I would love to see them do it,” Black told the Observer. “I was actually very proud that the Democrats chose Charlotte. And the more cities that go after it the better competition you have.”
