Dems 1, GOP 0

As far as national conventions go, I'm rooting for the Democrats. Bambino's Curse points out that in the last 30 years, the city that hosts the Dem's convention gets a major sports championship during the following four years, and generally within the first year or two. So 2004-2008 is our window. Of course, the Bruins are looking pretty hot right now, the Celtics and Patriots are playoff teams, the Revolution won the East, and that leaves... the Late, Great Red Sox Nation.
