Day Two From the GOP Convention

As things slowly return to normal for the Gulf Coast, the GOP Convention went back into full swing. We were all enthused and motivated by the group of speakers and the various presentations during day 2 of the GOP National Convention. In addition to the individuals who were on stage and spoke to our convention last evening, there were countless Republican leaders from around the nation. Tonight promises to be another action packed session.

Due to the lack of time and computer access on my part, my entries will be brief and include more pictures than usual.

Local Delegates at the Republican National Convention

Hello from Saint Paul
The Wood County Delegation left Parkersburg on Saturday evening at 8:30 pm and arrived at the Crown Plaza hotel in Bloomington around 12:30 Sunday afternoon August 31st. The atmosphere on the bus trip was electric with the discussion of our next VP, Sarah Palin.

Many of the folks from Wood County and West Virginia are first time attendees, including myself. What I will do the next few days is update the progression of events from the GOP Convention the best I can considering the time I have available and getting to a computer, the hotel has 2. For those who aren't awaire of who locally is attending they are: Greg Smith, Tom Azinger and Barbara Smith, our alternates are Louis Rexroad, Bob Smith and Allen Ross.

The first day of the Convention was cut short as most of you know by now. The highlight of yesterdays events were the apperance of Laura Bush and Cindy McCain together on the stage. Later today as the Convention resumes, we will here speeches from Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani and Joe Lieberman.
