As the Republican National Convention gets closer, one can feel the frustration building that St. Paul, where the theatrical peformances convention sessions will be held each evening, is playing second fiddle to Minneapolis.

The New York Times, up until recently, has been referring to the convention being in Minneapolis. And it was only this week that some bosses in the newsroom got an apology from National Public Radio for referring to the convention being in the city that is not the state's capital.
