Normally I'd say it's way too early to discuss two overblown political pep rallies, and in fact I still feel that way. But today I learned that the 2012 DNC will be in Charlotte, so here's a thread about it. I can see why they did that. Dunno if the RNC location has been announced yet -- I haven't seen anything.

Does this announcement seem a few months earlier than usual? I can't say I really write down or remember the convention location announcements, but I had the general feeling that these things typically are announced a bit later during the year before the election.

(Cue: "They're starting so early because they're scared and Obama sucks blah blah blah" and "The RNC will be on the GOP's home planet blah blah blah.")

I got an email from Michelle Obama this morning. But I was let down...
As it turns out, it was really spam from the Democratic party letting me know about the DNC.

And for a second there, I thought I was someone special. :(

I am kind of surprized they picked Charlotte. The traffic nightmare is going to be insane (it already is at rush hour).

Cool for the city though in general.

Ah, I missed that. And I thought this one was early. Pfft.
