The receptions are held to try to convince people that your city should host the convention. The hope is that the word will spread, and eventually your VIP converts will tell Dean to pick that city. Remember, ultimately it is Dean's own decision as to where to host the convention.<BR/><BR/>The DNC only holds two meetings like this a year, and the next meeting is in the fall, which is probably too late for these type of receptions.<BR/><BR/>All questions are welcome. But if you can, get a login - it makes it easier to hold a comment conversation.<BR/><BR/>-MattMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02126730290750804530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-1146620580947631042006-05-02T21:43:00.000-04:002006-05-02T21:43:00.000-04:00I don't remember hearing about New York or Detroit...I don't remember hearing about New York or Detroit having a presence at all at the spring DNC meeting. Did they? Will they have a reception or something at the next meeting? I'm just curious. What effect does the parties and such even have on the selection process? I'm sorry for all the questions, I'm really new to this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
