WASHINGTON For Democrats, New York would offer a diverse tableau in liberal Brooklyn and a touch of Clinton nostalgia. Philadelphia would give the party a patriotic backdrop, while Columbus would raise the curtain on another campaign showdown in Ohio.
Democrats are closing in on a final decision on where to hold their 2016 convention, a site that could serve as a passing of the baton from President Barack Obama to Hillary Rodham Clinton, the leading contender for the Democratic nomination should she run for president again.
With a price tag of at least $65 million, the choice will come down to whether to set the stage for Obama's Democratic successor in a big city or in the confines of another battleground state. Obama was nominated in Denver in 2008 and in Charlotte, N.C., in 2012.
A decision is expected in late January or early February.
