I just got back from my first glimpse of the Pepsi Center. Minnesota's delegation isn't in the worst spot. It's not on the main floor but is pretty close. The delegation will sit next to delegates from California and South Carolina but in front of Arkansas. One drawback for the Minnesota delegation is that they're right behind CNN.
It should be no surprise which states have the best seats. Ohio, Colorado, Illinois, Delaware, New Mexico, Michigan, Virginia and Pennsylvania have the prime locations. It pays to have the nominee or the VP candidate be from your home state or to live in a critical swing state.
Mississippi, South Dakota and Utah may have the worst seats out of the group.
