The Texans had asked for the downtown Marriott, but Illinois – which has voted Democratic in four straight presidential elections – got it.
There was a lottery. Texas Democrats got No. 6. Pretty good. But there were other factors. Much weight apparently went to the fact that Texas remains devoid of statewide Democratic officeholders and isn't a likely battleground. So they'll be at the Radisson in Aurora.
I'm tagging this post "No Shit Sherlock."
Who else is staying at the Radisson in Aurora? Those Democratic powerhouses - the American Samoans! Instead of the mile high city, Texas delegates will be sleeping easy at the 10-mile away city.
