DNC expected to announce final list of cities in next week or two

WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com

From the AP:

Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said Democratic leaders are expected to announce a narrowed list of host-city candidates next week.

But in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Rybak says it will be in two weeks:

For Democrats, the first cut of bidding cities will occur within the next two weeks, Rybak said. If the Twin Cities makes the cut, the city will be visited by national party officials later this summer. After that, the potential cities will be winnowed and the contenders will be asked to submit a “Best and Final Offer.” A final decision will be announced in November or early December.

Whether its one week or two, I’ll have the information here as soon as its available.

i think that new york still has the leg up over denver and minneapolis. they are the clear front-runner as far as logistics, hotels, labor relations, etc.
