Cleveland and Dallas are the two finalists to host the 2016 Republican National Convention, the party announced Wednesday.

A selection committee voted Wednesday to eliminate Denver and Kansas City from contention after visiting all four cities.

Democrats are in the earlier stages of choosing the location of their convention. Six cities submitted bids prior to this month's deadline: Birmingham, Ala.; Cleveland; Columbus, Ohio; New York, Philadelphia and Phoenix.

Which is the least worst Crap Hole ? Dallas I guess ?

I haven't been to Cleveland in years, but it probably hasn't improved any.

That sounds like the punch line to a joke:

First prize is a week in Dallas. Second prize is two weeks in Cleveland.

Isn't Cleveland called the mistake on the lake?

We travel through Cleveland twice each year. I am puzzled as to how it even made the first cut.

"Because it is Ohio" So................

I'll be amazed if Cleveland wins. Others say it will because it is Ohio and the primaries etc.

OK, I admit it, I was wrong.
It won't be Dallas. They will hold it in Cleveland because it's a swing state. Also, weather is much better there than Dallas at the end of June. Most venues are within walking distance. Thanks to Hugh Hewitt for straightening me out.
