Day #1 - Second Report

Well, we are now on the floor and, to our great surprise, our Virginia Delegation was provided a prime seating location, just behind the New Mexico Delegation, about 30 feet from the main stage. From your TV view, you will see our Virginia Delegation on the upper left side of the screen.

Now, this prime seating position means one of two things: either our Virginia Delegation is being rewarded or we are being told implicitly that we are officially a "swing state" and need to work even harder to keep Virginia's 44-year tradition of voting Republican intact.

The Xcel Energy Center, where our Convention is being held, is a wonderful place and the folks here in the Twin Cities are incredibly friendly and cordial.  I will now sign off as former NC State and Minnesota Timberwolves basketball star Thurl Bailey gives our invocation.


Delegate David Schmidt (R Va.) on the floor overseeing the prime Virginia seating 20 feet from the stage.

Dave looks like he is having fun! Glad to see Loudoun's GOP is looking at things on much larger scale than in year's past.

Don't go to any Dominion Power parties!
