(January 6, 2007)--The Democratic National Committee is pushing back a decision on the site of its 2008 national convention until next month.
It will be held in Denver or New York City.
But the final decision is not so much about where, as it is how much.
Denver's bid is said to have logistical and financial problems.
And New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says he's loved to host the Democrats but "can't commit the city to pay for a convention."
The party hopes to use the convention to highlight its presidential candidate.
A spokesman for DNC Chairman Howard Dean says negotiations with both cities are continuing.
The convention, which is expected to attract 35,000 people, including nearly 5,000 delegates alternates, will be held Aug. 25 through Aug. 28.
The Republican National Convention will start just four days later in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.
