WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
There's an AP story on some sites, for example, here on MSNBC, which says: "The report is erroneous," said Damien LaVera, spokesman for the Democratic National Committee. He said he would ask MSNBC to remove the story. LaVera said Democratic Chairman Howard Dean still intends to choose this month between Denver and New York City to host the convention."The Democratic National Committee is pushing back a decision on the site of its 2008 national convention until next month."
But looking closely at the story and the distribution on various new sites, including some dated a few days ago, I believe this is a copy of the December story about the delay into January, not a new delay into February.
Update: The Rocky Mountain News confirms that the story is bogus. (Hattip to Corinne in the comments):A report on MSNBC's Web site Tuesday said the decision on where to hold the Democratic National Convention might be postponed until February, but a Democratic spokesman said that wasn't true.
Not surprisingly, the story is still up on MSNBC's web site.

Matt,
When the DNC narrowed down the list and it eventually wound up at NYC and Denver, did that mean that all other cities that had expressed interest are now OUT?
I wonder if Orlando is still interested?
I read somewhere that Howard Dean was in Kansas this week, so I'm ASSuming that he's not fretting the convention situation at this point? Or at least I hope not!
Thanks Matt!
Orlando took themselves out of contention. Their arena is too small, and the only other choice was a convention center, with its own set of problems. See my overview post a few days ago, and follow the Orlando links for my posts at the time.

I hear that the announcement will come tomorrow (Thursday). I hear it is in fact Denver!
Hear from where? How good is your source? If you don't want to say publicly, feel free to email me.
