  The New York Times, July 27, 2012 tells the world what we already know. Tampa SCs hope to cash in--big--during the upcoming GOP convention. Hope you can open the link. [view link]

  "...said an informal survey of convention business in New York and Denver had determined that Republicans dropped more money at clubs, by far. “Hands down, it was Republicans,” she said. “The average was $150 for Republicans and $50 for Democrats.”" They're both cheap. Spend $400 or $500 and have some real fun.

  $50 would barely get you in the door at some places. And if that's the average, many democrats must be spending considerably less.

  Ahh... the Party of 'Family Values'. Always eager to try tell us what we cannot do whilst doing that very thing themselves. Rules are for the 'little people', not them.

  Not the same market, but perhaps a lesson. The GOP convention in Detroit in 1980 (Reagan was nominated) got all the restauranters excited. They overhired and overstocked to meet the anticipated demand. (One seafood restaurant actually threw away fish because there were not enough patrons to consume the stock.) The corporate and lobbyist free meals left the local restaurants holding the bag and some filed for bankruptcy. SCs might want to proceed with caution and dancers should not spend unearned money.
