it actually has a shot at happening...
"Democrats who already were queasy about the site of their national convention could be excused after Tuesday's election in North Carolina if they asked, "Tell me again just why we're going to Charlotte this year?" In fact, many Democrats privately are asking exactly that after the state's voters overwhelmingly approved a measure outlawing not just same-sex marriage -- which already was illegal in North Carolina -- but also any form of civil unions. Almost immediately after the vote, more than 20,000 people signed a "move the convention" petition being pushed by a New York group called Gay Marriage USA. And Twitter accounts lit up with hundreds of angry tweets demanding the party pull out of Charlotte"

There are so many reasons why this probably has no chance, but seems if you dont vote correctly you pay the price.
If you read the link there are so many factors at play here..
They are having trouble raising funds for the convention.
A governor who decided not to run thus probably handing that to the R
A sex scandal concerning the executive director of the dem party in NC
AND guess where the president will speak...BANK OF AMERICA STADIUM....that is ironic on many levels.
