Arizona, Florida, Utah Finalists for 2012 Republican Convention

Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Tampa, Fla., are the possible sites for the 2012 Republican National Convention, which will nominate the party's candidate for president.

The Republican National Committee's site selection team will visit the cities in late March and early April, Talking Points Memo reported.

The 12-member panel will submit its findings in time for a July vote by the full committee membership.

"Phoenix, Tampa, and Salt Lake City are all amazing American cities and I wish them the best of luck with their bids," RNC chairman Michael Steele said in a statement.
