   to replace "Republican" with "Democratic", etc.)   
      
   [Cleveland news]   
      
   Robust public transit and central location helped bring Republican convention   
   to tow   
      
   Republican officials say that fundraising ability and hotel space were key   
   factors in picking Cleveland to host its 2016 convention.   
      
   But perhaps not far behind came the transportation logistics of dropping 50,000   
   visitors into town for a few days.   
      
   On two key measures -  public transit and walkability - Cleveland ranked first   
   among the six finalists for the 2016 Republican National Convention.
