cleveland. the republican national committee says its site selection committee has picked the blue and heavily democratic state to host the next convention. the full membership is expected to ratify the recommendation next month, in august. it's not the first time cleveland has hosted presidential conventions. it's happened twice before, in 1924 and 1936. both of those were republican as well. the democrats are planning to choose their site late this year or in early 2015 but it will not be in cleveland. so it is just amazing what horribly sad things can happen so close to your own front door. right at the subway station next to the building i'm in right here in new york city, the upper west side, this beautiful chunky adorable little baby girl, 7 months old, was abandoned on the subway platform yesterday. there's video showing the mother walking in with her. in the stroller. there she is, in the white tee.
