The Democratic National Committee announced that it has chosen Charlotte, N.C., for its 2012 presidential nominating convention the week of Sept. 3.

The announcement that Charlotte had bested St. Louis, Cleveland and Minneapolis to become the host city first came in an email from First Lady Michelle Obama to DNC members.

“I am thrilled to make sure you are the first to hear some very exciting news,” she wrote. “Charlotte, North Carolina will host the 46th Democratic National Convention in 2012.”

You'd better stop drinking that sweet tea and eating your traditional fatty meats, Charlotte. Michelle's not going to allow fatties at her convention.

Also, why does she act like it's a done deal that her husband will be nominated? Tell that to Matt Bai, lady! [WSJ]
