It’s still a couple years away, but the Republican National Committee has announced its 2012 convention date.
Tuesday night the RNC announced the Republican National Convention will be the week of August 27th 2012.
Just where it will take place though is still a mystery. They’ve narrowed it down to three cities: Phoenix, Tampa and Salt Lake City. Members of the selection committee plan to visit final trio of places in the coming months.
And just when will the Democratic National Convention take place? Well tradition has a role in that, the party that is in the White House holds its convention after the party that’s in the minority. That puts the DNC one scheduled for the week of September 3rd.
Political conventions typically take place the summer before a presidential election. Delegates from both parties gather to formalize their party’s nominee.
