Democrats’ Convention Choice Showcases Tension
(By Kyle Trygstad and Kathleen Hunter, Roll Call) - The decision to hold the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., sent a clear message that Barack Obama’s next presidential campaign is likely to be as ambitious as his last.
Charlotte got the nod over St. Louis, the other frontrunner, as well as finalists Cleveland and Minneapolis-St. Paul.
“This selection should put to rest any notion that the presidential map in 2012 is going to shrink,” a senior Democratic official told Roll Call. “President Obama will be very active in North Carolina and ... despite what some have speculated, we are going to go as big in 2012 as we did in 2008 — and that means fighting hard for North Carolina, Virginia and all the states and more that helped elect President Obama in the first place.”
