there is clearly no better city to have this event than philadelphia the role of philadelphia in shaping our history is unmatched but what is also unmatched is the comprehensive proposal that the team in philadelphia put together, a top notch plan for logistics, finance and security. our first priority was to ensure that the city could transport and house attendees seamlessly and make sure our delegates have the best possible experience and execute a convention that was safe and secure and make sure that the city has the resources to put on a unique large scale event. our process was a year long effort to dive deeply into the logistics and capability of each city and putting on a convention that we know is complex and it's primarily a business decision for us. philadelphia had the strongest bid in each of those areas what is more philadelphia will put our party's values of inclusion opportunity on display. >> by the way we are streaming this conference call online at 6abc.com. once again, plenty of celebrations here at city hall as mayor nutter receives the official word from debbie wass

as a result, it woke the city up and really made us think, can chicago do better?we have a mayor in city hall and a city council who really embrace the neighborhoods and the quality of life issues of every day chicagoans. so the multiracial, multiethnic coalition got to work and fought back, and we denied the mayor, who spent $14 million this round to get re-elected pulled every string possible, begged for every favor that could be done and still came up short because chicagoans are disenchanted and want to go in a different direction. >> and i should note we did invite mayor rahm emanuel to come on the air today. he did not get back to us. but the school's piece is interesting to me. that has been an issue. is that really the crux of the anger against mayor emanuel, this idea of closing schools, particularly in neighborhoods where schools now have to travel further and sometimes in neighborhoods that aren't necessarily safe to get to school? >> it is an issue that has drawn deep passion and resentment from parents, from student, from community leaders. it happened
