I voted for Baltimore, because I'm only an hour away. But, perhaps the poll should have a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice.
I know a lot of people hate the National in Cleveland, but logistically it is the easiest to get in & out of the expo center. Plus, I love the House of Blues venue downtown, since I always go there at least one night for a concert.
I suppose if they ever built a convention center in downtown Cleveland, it would have more votes. Thus, I've realized that the cities that "work well" for a National are the ones that everything is within walking distance in a downtown setting (convention center, baseball stadium, hotels, restaurants, night clubs, family stuff to do, etc,...) Perhaps, the promoters should try that idea if they want to choose additional cities to try (ie San Diego, Pittsburgh, etc,...).
