Should we feel bad for the Republicans ? their party here in St Paul was spoiled by.... don't say it... the '' G ''' word.... John McCain and Sarah ( what's her name again?) were to have their moment in the sun, now it/'s their moment in the rain in the gulf. Here in the Twin Cities area... the tears are flowing.. in private. publicly the 'party line'' is that the people of the gulf come first.. we're not republicans we're americans.. and all that which is very true but amounts to very unfortunate timing here. Tonight.. everyone's really really excited about the possibility of Laura Bush speaking.. i mean i like her as much as the next person... but really. The current pres. and vice pres cancelled over the wkend.... The candidates themselves may or may not be here later this week.... depending on the storm. Ironic that the terrible storm let Mccain do what he couldnt do on his own.. keep president bush and vp cheney far away from the convention
We're in the hotel with the California delegation in nearby Bloomington, and I think they're now more excited about going to the famed "Mall of American'' which is about five min away than going to the almost empty Excel Center about 40 minutes away. I mean wouldn't you be... so stay tuned... that giant noise you may here in LA is the sound of all the wind being sucked out of the REpublican party in Minneapolis St Paul.
