Seattle tells GOP thanks but no thanks
ANOTHER city tells the GOP to go Cheney itself.
The GOP is eyeing Seattle as a possible site for the 2008 Republican National Convention....
Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley said thanks but no thanks this week. Chicago wants to focus on a possible bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
San Diego sounded a similar note. Mayor Jerry Sanders, in a statement, said, "The city has other important priorities."
As for Seattle? The city is taking a pass, too, a spokesman for Mayor Greg Nickels said Friday. "There's the question of whether we even have a facility to hold such a convention," spokesman Marty McOmber said. "And the issue of having enough hotel rooms. We're not going to bid for it."
