Shouldn't it be Miami Beach, not Miami?

The name of the city is Tampa, not Tampa Bay. The Republicans didn't hold their convention on a boat in the water.
And it's spelled Cincinnati, not Cincinatti.

God I hope the Republicans win in November. Obama has been a disaster as president.

Obama increased the deficit by $13 trillion in just 3 years. While many people think Obamacare is good, it's really going to increase medical costs. That will lead to employers to drop medical care for their employees. It increases taxes. We're trillions of dollars in debt and this is what we spent the money we don't have on? He spent $10 trillion to bailout all of those Wall Street companies. Obama stood with Mexican President Felipe Calderon criticizing Arizona's stance on illegal immigration. He would rather side with a foreign leader than one of his own governors. That's a shame. He failed to pull out of the wars that he said he would've pulled put of, but didn't. Plus, he went to Libya. Why? I don't know. It was a pointless war that cost America A LOT of money. Unemployment has significantly increased ever since Obama was elected. It has slowly decreased in 2010 and 2011, but isn't lower than Bush. He doesn't even show patriotism. He called Kenya his home country. He refuses to wear a U.S. flag pin. He removed the U.S. flag from Air Force One. He doesn't even have the decency to put his left hand over his heart during the National Anthem. O.B.A.M.A = ONE BIG @$$ MISTAKE AMERICA!

See, the way it works is we take the quiz, maybe comment about the quiz itself and then go on with our lives. This website is not meant to be a political soapbox.

@ikspuls- don't bring politics into Sporcle. I'm pretty sure there's a law about it (separation of Sporcle and state?)

No disrespect to tseroff who made a wonderful quiz, but you gotta know this is gonna happen if you make a Republican/ Democratic quiz like this.

I'm surprised that St. Paul, the site of the 2008 RNC (McCain-Palin), is the least guessed on this quiz.

I think people remember the 2008 convention as being in Minneapolis. I first guessed Minneapolis, then a little while later when I saw St. Paul was an answer as well, I recalled that the convention was at the St. Paul Convention Center. Except it wasn't, but who cares, I got credit!

A sure way for Sporclers to receive negative votes for their comment? Bring their political views to the game.

@ikspuls-I read the first four words of your comment, pretty safely guessed it was a political rant, and without missing a beat voted it down. That's the way it goes on Sporcle.

San Francisco really, really definitely. The 1964 convention that nominated Barry Goldwater and William E. Miller was in the Cow Palace. Back in those days, San Francisco would still elect Republican mayors, supervisors and Congressmen (e.g. the Maillards) from time to time, relatively moderate ones, but still Republican.

I'm going to get about 1,000,000 thumbs down for this, but honestly it would be impossible for me to care less. If anyone actually cares how many random people give them thumbs down they are a loser. Sporcle is extremely liberal. Just from personal experience (my own quiz), all the liberal comments have gotten thumbs up and the conservative ones thumbs down. This appears to be the case on nearly every quiz. If you liberals want to give me a thumbs down, you are just proving my point even more.

Damn you Democrats and your liberal monopoly on web-based trivia websites! But seriously, if anyone feels compelled to use the comments section of a Sporcle quiz to bore us with hilariously hyperbolic political arguments peppered with dreadful puns and weep-inducing acronyms, rather than using one of the countless political forums that actually exist online - then you are asking to be ridiculed. If your judgment can't stretch as far as working out where best to discuss politics online, then don't expect anybody to give any credence to your judgments on whether Obama's healthcare bill will end in success or failure, because you don't look particularly qualified. And that's not aimed at anyone in particular.

Speak for yourself. My whole political worldview has changed suddenly, now that I've read these comments! They were all just so convincing that I had no choice but to reevaluate my entire values system right here and now. So, mission accomplished, commenters!
