The full Republican National Committee this afternoon voted to confirm Tampa as the recommended host of the 2012 Republican National Convention, ratifying the pick earlier this year of the RNC's site selection committee.

RPOF Chairman John Thrasher, RNC Secretary and Florida National Committeewoman Sharon Day, Florida National Committeeman Paul Senft, and RPOF Vice Chairman and Hillsborough County Republican Executive Committee Chairman Debbie Cox-Roush were on hand for the vote in Kansas City.

"I was honored to join National Committeewoman Day and National Committeeman Senft to cast my vote in favor of bringing the 2012 Republican National Convention to Tampa Bay," said RPOF Chairman John Thrasher. "It's a great day for Florida, and I couldn't be more proud of the hard work our Vice Chairman Debbie-Cox Roush, Al Austin and his team, the Republican grassroots community of Tampa Bay and so many others put into making this day possible."

2. Look at the bright side.

It will be convenient to protest and otherwise make Republicans feel unwelcome.

3. Be sure everyone beings a swimsuit and goes to the beach. The

Gulf should be non-toxic by then. That's what BP would say so it must be true.

4. Republicans are trying to get Rubio elected and a republican

governor. They think this might help. I hope it doesn't I hope Rubio looses so bad he drops out of sight.

5. My condolences to Tampa... nt.

7. Hey! NYC Survived The RNC Convention in 2004

Or as some call it the week of a million "9/11" references.

6. Ironically, Hillsborough County went blue in 08.

I'm not in Tampa any more, but I was one of the people who helped make it blue then. This convention will not go down well.

8. Those penis hats they had last time will be popular I am sure.

9. Democrats will go to Detroit or Cleveland

Just a guess.
