Dems choose Charlotte for 2012 convention

WASHINGTON – Democrats plan to hold their 2012 nominating convention in Charlotte, N.C., selecting to fete President Barack Obama in a newly competitive presidential battleground in the conservative-leaning South.

The selection signaled that Obama plans to aggressively compete in traditionally Republican states that he won during his first presidential campaign by cobbling together a diverse cross-section of voters. And the apparent theme — The People's Convention — indicated that the president will try to rekindle the grass-roots flavor of his ground-breaking 2008 bid.

In choosing Charlotte for the party's 46th convention, the Democratic National Committee rejected bids by a trio of Midwestern cities hit hard by the recession: Cleveland, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.
