For a start, there must be a large convention facility and a sufficient number of hotel rooms. The number of hotel rooms - generally around 20,000 - eliminates all but the larger cities from consideration.

The republican and democratic convention committees pick the site of conventions.
They are wined and dined in various cities.
The DNC is sending 45 people (first class accommodations) to Boston, New York and Miami currently. They are looking for a suitable location for the 2004 convention.
