Hey, Rosie, guess who's coming to dinner?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republicans will hold their 2008 presidential convention in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul, choosing a location in the politically pivotal Midwest, GOP officials said Wednesday.

I think the high school fantasy football contest is what drew 'em.

 

At least I have enough notice to get the house cleaned!

 

And they ain't coming because it's "politically pivotal." They just want some of Rosie's home cooking.

 

Maybe that should be our next SportsJournalists.com outing!

 

Maybe Jonesy can take them all to Nye's...
And anyone of us can volunteers to take them to Reggie's

 

And, as in Toronto, Jones is buying the first round for everyone.

 

This is not going to be popular among the political reporters.
It's the equivalent of a Super Bowl in Detroit.
No, wait...

 

Minneapolis/St. Paul in late summer/..... Detroit in mid-winter... hmmm

 

Let's see....
How about burgers and brats on the grill, some pasta salads, a few veggie trays, chips and dip, and for dessert, some homemade chocolate cake with ice cream.
