“Like North Carolina the city of Atlanta is following a phased, scientific and data driven response to reopening. That plan does not contemplate hosting a large gathering event in August.”


Meanwhile hotels, restaurants, chefs, managers, and workers are saying COME ON DOWN.

Watched local news just now. People want the convention here.

Too bad for her that the governor already signed off on it.

Who gets the call in that scenario? I would guess the governor.

I think Keisha Lance Bottoms may have just inadvertently sealed the RNC convention for Atlanta.

The mayor of the South’s supposed premier city is named Keisha?

Isn't the Braves stadium in the suburbs? Would be funny if they did it there just to spite her.

There are numerous large venues outside the city limits of Atlanta. Ampitheaters galore. I can think of one in Alpharetta, Roswell area, great place, good people, right up 400, about a 20 minute speed limit drive out of downtown.

It’s pretty clear the Democrats are going to have a pussy zoom convention.

The Republicans are going to have a normal full convention and the Dems know the contrast will crush them.

Cobb went blue in 2016 for the first time since Jimmy Carter. You can't count on Cobb anymore.

Which is why I was saying in the other thread that going to Florida or Georgia isn’t a bad plan.

If the Dems go virtual, having a life convention with a filled stadium is a big contrast.

Cobb County is ready and willing. Gov. Kemp is very close to the Cobb County leadership and The Braves Stadium/Battery area would be perfect.
