 0:55 video from June 25, 2014.

Gov. Kasich: So now it's between Cleveland and Dallas for the Republican National Convention in 2016.  Well by now we all know how well prepared Cleveland is to host this incredible event.  They've got the infrastructure, the people and the experience to make the 2016 convention the best one yet.  But it's more than that.  Here are a few facts to consider. 

Dallas' Tony Romo only has one more playoff win than Cleveland's Johnny Manziel. 

Captain America and The Avengers filmed in Cleveland and Superman was created here.  It's the home of superheroes.

The average temperature in June in Dallas?  92 on a cool day.  Cleveland, 79.

And where was rock and roll born?  Well no other place other than Cleveland, Ohio.

I don't know about you, but the choice seems pretty clear to me.  For the GOP convention in 2016, I'm team Cleveland.


Notes: This was produced following the June 25 Site Selection Committee meeting in Washington, DC which selected Cleveland and Dallas as finalists (+).  In addition to Kasich speaking, there are a few still photos interspersed throughout.
