They can make it a party without taking away from TV-and-bumper-sticker money. Well, conventions are one of the places where soft money can still be used.

So probably between $200 and $250 million... DOn't know about the RNC yet... but it's a crazy amount of money...

It would seem like the Dems probably will have spent more than the Republicans because of the change of venue, extra security that was needed for the larger venue, fireworks, etc. Doesn't seem extravagant for both parties who already knew who their Presidential candidates were going to be? -Eric Anybody know how much $$$ is being spent on these conventions?

Doesn’t seem extravagant for both parties who already knew who their Presidential candidates were going to be?
