Ah, what the hell ! Let's just ignore them all and let them flow through like the dam broke.
 
Then 5 or 10 years from now we'll just call the country North Mexico.
 
Feel better now ?

Did GOP boycott Arizona???

Wednesday, May 12, 2010; 4:58 PM

Arizona took another hit Wednesday as Republicans cast a vote for the home of their 2012 convention. Phoenix made the short list but lost out to Tampa.

It was little surprise to tourism officials in Arizona. Since the state passed the nation's toughest immigration law three weeks ago, its meeting and events business has fallen drastically.

Hispanic civil rights groups are boycotting Arizona and urging others to do the same. Officials at the National Council of La Raza, one of the groups driving the boycott, had privately asked the RNC not to meet in Phoenix.

The city risks losing as much as $90 million in hotel and convention business over the next five years because of the controversy, according to city estimates released Wednesday. The state's hotel and lodging association has counted 23 canceled meetings for a loss of between $6 and $10 million. On Wednesday, Los Angeles became the largest city to join the boycott.

 If AZ is having such a hard time --Supply and demand will kick in  --Prices will fall on the convention sites to attract business--The union workers [I have been to conventions and trade shows fvking union workers demand money to get you unloaded or loaded back up or let you set untill they feel like doing their jobs]
 will get there pay cut and costs will fall and smart planners will looking to save money will book conventions in AZ and save the company Lots of money --  AZ returns to the market place and Unions loose- ! win -win !!
