Republicans plan to signal their choice for the site of the 2012 nominating convention soon. But insiders say the site selection committee is grappling with issues in each of the finalists—Tampa, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City. Tampa seems to be tops, but there are concerns about being in Florida in hurricane season.

Salt Lake City hosts the Mormon Church, something that could be sticky if Mormon Mitt Romney is the nominee.
