Some interesting thoughts from Tom Tomorrow on the Republican's crass decision to hold their convention in New York City on or near Sept. 11.

In short, Karl Rove's brilliant convention-in-New-York strategy could backfire, especially if enough people focus on the heart of the matter: the Republicans are coming here to dance on the graves of three thousand New Yorkers.

Not to mention that in terms of national politics, New York City is pretty solidly Democratic -- even their Republican mayors would qualify on Dems on the national stage.
