Student Response....
This week represents the
Republican National convention and the site for the gathering this
year is in Tampa Bay, Florida. The convention could have been held at
a myriad of places, but this year is it held in the
battleground state of Florida. The hot topic in the Sunshine State is Medicare
and possibly that is a reason as to why the convention is held in Tampa Bay to
win of the majority. Unfortunately, there is a tropical storm brewing in the
Gulf of Mexico that could ruin the fate of the convention. If the storm makes
it to Tampa the estimated 50,000 people could be put out of their fun week of
politics. Have no fear, where there is a will, there is a way! If the
storm ends up taking the city of Tampa Bay the leaders of the convention always
have a plan b, such as if Monday gets ruined everything will get moved to
Tuesday. Despite all the bad weather and possible outcomes, the Republican
Party has an optimistic outlook on their 2012 presidential nominee.

Tampa Bay has been
selected for the Republican National Convention this year. I think it was
selected because Florida is battle ground for voting due to the amount of
senior citizen residence that live in Florida. The Republican committee is
smart for having it there because they know the senior citizen vote will help
alot. I can't see much a flaw with selecting Tampa Bay as spot for holding
the Republican Convention. I think Iowa would be another good place to
hold it too but Tampa Bay is better. I know they think it may be
dangerous due to the amount of security they have gotten and SWAT armoured
vehichles. And finally I could not find any plans on what they would do
if it got bad in Tampa, I have looked everywhere but can't find anything.
