If not at convention, where should Kerry formally accept the nomination?

[Bombtrack]

Poll question: If not at convention, where should Kerry formally accept the nomination?

I don't have my mind made up about this whole issue. But where do you think it should happen if it's delayed?

1. why would it be delayed? did i miss something? eom

3. Apparently no ones talking about it here

Kerry weighs delaying nomination. Dramatic move would give him access to more cash.

Yeah, go to any news website

They are considering delaying his actual nomination until after the convention by about a month to compete with Bush in fundraising rules. It would give the GOP another advantage if there was the 5 week difference for when he was officially nominated.

2. I think he can get nominated at the convention,

He just can't accept the nomination until later in order to balance the type of money he will be spending.

6. I voted for the Southern battleground...

'cause I live in Tennessee... but, honestly, I think it's silly to not accept the nomination at the convention.
Besides, this is all a publicity stunt anyway.
Because my beloved former profession, that I miss every day of my existance, has grown so STUPID, that it can't cover politics for fear of retribution.
It's a newsmaker. 'Tis all. And Bravo for Kerry's team for finding a way to make it so.

7. He will HAVE to be nominated at the convention

That is the only forum where the delegates will be.

The trial balloon being floated is whether he will ACCEPT the nomination then or later.

[Bombtrack]

10. Ok, the question has been updated

[JI7]

8. he will be nominated at the convention , he just wont accept until later

[absolutezero]

9. NYC

stick it to the repubs

11. boston or pennsylvania

boston because it's where the convention would have been held earlier and it's kerry's home. or pennsylvania because it's a swing state but also it's his wifes home.

12. how about at the Vietnam Memorial . . .

with a pledge never to let this (55,000 young men and women killed) happen again . . . particularly in Iraq . . .

[patricia92243]

16. That is a great suggestion!!!

[WI_DEM]

13. how about either Warm Springs, Ga. or Indpendence, Mo?

invoking Roosevelt or Truman how it was time for the Democrats to come in and clean up the GOP mess.

14. With all of our job loss....

At Labor Day celebrations... maybe a community picnic.....
yea!
In some Ohio or W. Va. some some other place that has lost tons of jobs.
LABOR DAY = JOBS.... GET IT!

15. Personally,

I think he should wait until the day before the Repuke convention. Let him steal headlines for the day instead of those pathetic assholes.

Either that, or the day AFTER the Repuke convention. He can upstage Bush that way.

[Auntie Bush]

17. Few days after the Rep. Convention to distract the news

from the Repucs. Who Kerry has a running mate would totally oust all Rep. coverage. Use the same tactics on them as they do on us.

18. The Oval Office, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, WDC 20500

Just kidding. :P

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. His VP, Wes Clark

should throw a big party in Arkansas...invite Dems to the party, and accept the nomination there. He should wait until AFTER the repuke convention though. I think this move was absolutely brilliant on Kerry's part....just brilliant. The republicans are foaming at the mouth...just where we want 'em!

23. Austin

while Texas is not in play, it sends a message that we're not afraid of the little turf Bush can still claim

besides, Austin is the one part of Texas that is friendly to Dems

25. That's kind of funny, really. :^) Esp if he asks Ann Richards

to be his veep.

24. John Kerry should accept the nomination at the Liberty Bell

site in Philidelphia as a symbol that he will restore our democracy.
