I've also heard that may have been some disapointment with Ford Field from Superbowl spectators.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-1147311768651155152006-05-10T21:42:00.000-04:002006-05-10T21:42:00.000-04:00I think you may be right about Vegas, and maybe Ne...I think you may be right about Vegas, and maybe New Orleans dropping out, but I would not forget about Detroit and New York. I would expect both to make it to the final round.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02126730290750804530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-1147303762735415832006-05-10T19:29:00.000-04:002006-05-10T19:29:00.000-04:00I think that Denver and Minneapolis will be in it ...I think that Denver and Minneapolis will be in it 'till the end, with New Orleans and Vegas and the other contenders droping out long before. Nagin seems like more of a liability for N.O. getting the DNC 2008 to me. My gut tells me that New Orleans will score the Republican National Convention, and that Denver will get us Dems.

Or Minneapolis scoring a re-election bid convention (DNC 2012)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-1147296534819385212006-05-10T17:28:00.000-04:002006-05-10T17:28:00.000-04:00my guess would be matt nugen and zoe garmendia as ...my guess would be matt nugen and zoe garmendia as they are the 2 dnc staff memebers working primarily on the site selection processAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18747118.post-1147278652312683842006-05-10T12:30:00.000-04:002006-05-10T12:30:00.000-04:00There's no doubt that many important parts of the ...There's no doubt that many important parts of the selection process will be held in private.
