In response to "As one of five finalists for the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Brooklyn is making a big push." by ty97

Doesn't seem like it, from recent history.

Posted by Roger More (aka rogermore) Aug 11 '14, 08:48

For example, in 2012 the DNC was in Charlotte and they lost North Carolina. The RNC was in Tampa, and they did not win Florida.

In the last six elections, the only state hosting a party convention to flip its electoral college vote from the previous election was Colorado in 2008.

Also, the Republicans have lost every state in which the RNC was held since 1992, when it was in Houston.

What the results in each state have been if the conventions had not been there? - ty97 Aug 11, 08:50 1
- Romney's poll #s in Florida (for example) didn't go up after the RNC in Tampa. - Roger More Aug 11, 09:10
So what you are saying is... there is a chance? -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 08:49
