    Does anyone know the reason why the republicans decided to hold the convention here in ny? I have to say, its quite annoying already to have to commute into manhattan with thousands of people already, but now they make it worse! And its close to the 9/11 anniversary AND the big cities are ALWAYS a target why are they bringing more attention to an already targeted place? Atleast MTV isnt holding the VMA's here this year. Im vey confused by this and really annoyed because it will be IMPOSSIBLE to get a cab

    Here's an answer from the website of the Republican convention. It sounds like New York marketed more aggressively than other cities.

    Q: WHY AND HOW WAS NYC SELECTED FOR THE CONVENTION?

    On January 31, 2003, the Republican National Committee (RNC) announced the selection of New York City as the host city for the 2004 GOP Convention. The city was selected by a unanimous vote of the RNC's 165 members because New York offered the best package of goods and services - including the convention complex, hotels, venues and event funding, to name a few.
