The Republican National Convention is a convention held to officially nominate the Republican candidates for President and Vice President. As such, it is held every four years, in the summer before a presidential election. It lasts about 4 days on average, and features speeches from prominent Republicans or other Conservatives. Unlike the Democratic National Convention, no one is banned from speaking for ideological reasons.
The 2000 convention was held in Phillidelphia, PA. The 2004 Convention was held in New York City, NY, and the 2008 Convention will be held in Minneapolis, MN.
