(WOIO) -
National political conventions are not what they
used to be. No longer are there any
smoke-filled rooms where party power brokers meet to pick the next presidential
candidate. Those decisions are made by voters in state primaries long before
the convention begins.
Today's political conventions are little more than
well- scripted infomercials with no surprises and little drama. So why are they
still being held and why are they still on TV?
Now, you may find this question especially relevant
when you learn what they cost. Well, this
year the two conventions could exceed $100 million and guess
who pays for it? We do, the American
taxpayer. And hardly anybody is watching
it on TV. Here in Cleveland, the GOP Convention last week attracted just over 113,000 homes -- a
small percentage of the total homes in the metro area and down 13%
from 2008. You know, a strong case can
be made that today's political conventions are costly and irrelevant but four years
from now they'll do it again.
Write and let me know what you think. I'm Bill Applegate.

The outlook for job in Northeast of Ohio looks pretty promising according to a new report released by Team NEO. In the next decade they estimate the area to add 150,000 jobs. There is a bit a problem though and it will be finding the qualified and educated workers to fill the jobs especially in the medical industry. According to Jenny Febbs with Team NEO the challenge will be getting our young educated population to stay home as well as attracting people from other parts of the county.More >>
