Tampa Bay likely to host 2012 RNC

TAMPA - Several political blogs are reporting that the city of Tampa will be chosen to host the 2012 Republican National Convention.

The RNC has not made it official yet, as the vote and subsequent announcement is scheduled for Wednesday.

The Atlantic, a monthly political magazine, says Tampa has a 90 percent chance of winning the bid.

Tampa is up against Phoenix, Ariz. and Salt Lake City, Utah. Online outlets say Phoenix will likely lose the bid because of the recent heat Arizona has been getting for their newly passed immigration law. Local news reports from Salt Lake City are also pointing to Tampa as the winner.

2. Good. SLC was up for it and I didn't want those toe-suckers here.

Even if it helped tourism. All that hot air would've made it hell.
