President Barack Obama's hometown and Hillary Rodham Clinton's home base as a senator are among the 15 cities the Democratic National Committee is considering to host the party's presidential nominating convention in 2016, officials said Tuesday.
The DNC is inviting cities from Miami to Las Vegas to bid to host the party faithful for the made-for-TV festivities. Local officials have until June 6 to submit their proposals or not, if a city declines about how the city would partner with the DNC to stage the massive and costly event.
The cities under consideration are: Atlanta; Chicago; Cleveland; Columbus, Ohio; Detroit; Indianapolis; Las Vegas; Miami; Nashville; New York; Orlando; Philadelphia; Phoenix; Pittsburgh and Salt Lake City.
Democrats' decision is not expected until late this year or early in 2015. Most cities expect the convention to cost between $55 million and $60 million.
Various factors go into deciding where to plant the convention, most notably whether the city has the facilities to stage the pageantry and whether there are enough hotels to house the delegates and media who descend on the region, as well as the ease with which visitors can navigate the city.
In addition, weather has thwarted recent conventions. The Republican National Committee delayed the start of its 2012 convention in Tampa, Fla., because of Hurricane Isaac. Storms forced the Democrats that year to scrap and outdoor rally in Charlotte, N.C. The history would weigh on officials considering storm-vulnerable Atlanta, Miami and Orlando.
Some of the 2016 cities have obvious appeal for Democrats.
Obama calls Chicago home and he will be leaving the White House in early 2017. A Chicago convention could be a nod to his eight years in power and a boost for an Obama presidential library the city is aggressively courting.
At the same time, Clinton grew up the Chicago suburb of Park Ridge, Ill. The former first lady, senator and secretary of state is considered an early front-runner for the Democrats' nomination if she should run for president in 2016.
Similarly, Clinton represented New York in the Senate from 2001 until she became the nation's top diplomat in 2009. Her husband, former President Bill Clinton, accepted his party's presidential nomination during a 1992 convention in New York's Madison Square Garden.

Democrats Eye 15 Cities for 2016 Convention
Energizing voter turnout in this years election was on the minds of Marshall County Democrats when they met at Marysville City Building to reorganize and plan campaign strategies Saturday morning.
John Banister, Marysville, was elected county Democratic chairman, and he challenged his fellow party members to get started on the local level with a strong precinct committee structure and an appeal to younger voters.
The only way were going to win is with a grassroots effort, Banister said. Our first goal should be to fill in those committee posts.
Ashley Mason, rural Marysville, was elected precinct committeewoman from Franklin Township and vice chair of the county committee.
Others elected precinct committee members were Ed Taphorn, Franklin Township; Patrick ONeal, Guittard Township; Mike Ring and Mony Walstrom, Marysville Township; Linda Swim, Oketo Township; Lyle Howell and Ann Howell, Wells Township; Banister, Marysville City Ward 1; Jim Breeding and Gloria Breeding, Marysville City Ward 3; and Lona Dittmar, Marysville City Ward 4.
Committee members who were already elected to committee posts were Jack Haller and Maxine Haller, Blue Rapids City Township; Charles A. Ring Jr., Oketo Township; Kenneth Burger and Phyllis Burger, St. Bridget Township; Kenneth Hiltgen, Vermillion Township East; Marvin Turner and Susan Turner, Marysville City Ward 2; and Mick Keating, Marysville City Ward 4.
Thirty-nine committee positions are still open.
Matt Otte, chairman of the Mitchell County Democratic Committee, conducted the meeting until Banister was elected and took over the chair. Helping to organize the meeting were Mary Lou Davis and Greg Davis of Topeka, both natives of Marshall County. Gregs mother, Dorothy Davis, was a longtime treasurer of the county Democratic Committee.
Linda Seufert, Democratic chair of the 2nd Congressional District, attended the meeting and spoke briefly.
A count of registrants eligible to vote in Marshall County shows that, as of last September, there were 3,270 Republicans, 1,619 unaffiliated, 1,580 Democrats and 24 Libertarians.
