Democratic Convention Assigns Hotels, But Not To Florida

By Marc Ambinder
Nov 20 2007, 1:29 PM ET Comment

The Democratic National Convention Committee is bragging that it managed to find hotels within 20 miles of the Pepsi Center in Denver to host the thousands of delegates in town next summer for the Dem. National Convention.

But Florida is out of luck. In theory, the DNC doesn't expect to host a Florida delegation because the party's rules committee has stripped the state of all of its delegates.

A check of Expedia shows that the nearest hotels with availability are outside a ten mile radius -- not too bad, although a motel that advertises itself as "minutes to" both downtown Denver and downtown Aurora probably isn't too close to either.
