DEL.ICIO.USBecause when Georgia Democrats party, there’s no substitute for an Applebee’s
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The hotel list for state delegations to the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver is now making the rounds.
No surprise, but New York and California have choice downtown spots, along with the Vermont delegation.
The Georgia delegation will have its digs at the Doubletree Denver hotel in Stapleton. The hotel web site says that’s 20 minutes from the airport and six minutes from downtown Denver.
Let’s assume that boasts of easy access are as exaggerated in Colorado as they are in Georgia. That would put the Georgia delegation somewhere in Denver’s equivalent of Smyrna.
Look at the entire list here, and a geographic analysis by Colorado Confidential, a local blog, here.
Perhaps the best way to measure Georgia’s clout in the upcoming convention — three days in late August — is to look at the company the delegation will keep.
Housed at the same hotel will be delegations from Alabama, South Dakota and North Dakota. All noted Democratic powerhouses.

Georgia’s the heart of “lost cause” territory… still stuck in a red-state mindset while the rest of the country moves forward.
We’ll need to demonstrate some intelligence to redeem our reputation in the DLC’s eyes. Getting rid of Sonny might be a good start….
