	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.

	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?)

	@ikspuls: The funny thing is I made one for each. It wasn't intended as a flamethrower. Sniff Thanks anyways :D

	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!

	@tseroff Both quizzes are great. I already knew that you made both.

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

	@pogues, well it apprently worked for rockgolf in a different published game today.

	@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.

	Sorry, but this really REALLY doesn't matter.

	Of the 25 possible wrong answers, I managed to find 9. I'm amazing.

	San Francisco? Really???

	shakescene:	Sep 1st, 2012 at 06:11 GMT		4 points
	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.

	Look at the bell curve in the percentiles.

	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!
