Convention Night

I’m back at the hotel.  I have some pretty cool video that I’ll get up when I have time.  Unfortunately, I have a real life (“unfortunately”!?!?) and I have a meeting at 0900 tomorrow 111.4 miles away from my hotel, so I’ll have much more tomorrow evening.  Couple of quick notes….

- McCain’s speech was…. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…  sorry, dozed off for a sec.  What was I saying?  Oh yeah… it was a good speech.  Good content.  Good delivery.  McCain just isn’t the barn-burner type of speaker and never has been, so it was about what I expected.  On the content, I thought it was good.  I squirmed in my seat a bit when he spoke about school choice because it isn’t a federal issue, but appreciated the sentiment. 

- I hooked up with Lance Burri.  No, literally “hooked up.”  We didn’t use protection, so I think he’s going to have my baby.  These conventions are wild. 

- OK, just kidding on the last one.  We spent some chatting and discovered that we’re practically twins.  He got a picture of us, so I’m sure I’ll be called the “short one.”  Smart guy.  Nice guy.  A true asset to Wisconsin. 

- I also met Mike Schramm from WisPolitics.  We’ve emailed for years now, but this was the first time we met in person.  Great guy. 

- We had some protesters that crashed McCain’s speech.  I don’t know how they got in.  I have video of it that I will get online eventually.  I thought it was pretty classless.  Why is it that lefty protesters are so afraid of free speech that they have to interrupt others?  Jerks. 

- OK, I need to get some sleep.  More tomorrow.  Oh…. so much more…. stay tuned!
