Day two of the convention

Arrived in MN today and immediately joined up with the Pa. Delegation at the Marriott Southwest approx 40 minutes west of the Twin Cities. When we went to the Convention, we came to realize how far out of town we are, but attending the Convention itself was thrilling.

It's clear that attendees believe the that McCain-Palin ticket is a winner- the best in a record of leadership and service to country. But it was the speech by Sen. Joe Lieberman that cemented that notion. Here's the Democrat nominee for Vice President just eight years ago standing in front of the GOP Convention endorsing McCain. His sincerity was evident as he explained that, at times like these, party affiliation is secondary to our nation's future. It was a great message and moved the crowd beyond description.

Right afterward, we got in the bus to drive the 40 minutes back to the hotel and his speech was the buzz the whole way back. Tired Convention-goers, but excited by an historic speech!
