2008 GOP COVENTION

“AMAZING”

This was one amazing convention. I have attended six conventions and this one was amazing. Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin just energized the GOP and made me so excited to go home and work hard for the next 60 days.
Standing in 1000’s of balloons and confetti was unbelievable and being part of history was just amazing. Senator John McCain spoke from the heart and show what a great job he will do as president and make American great again.

He has called on Americas to join a cause great than themselves. John McCain will fight for you and keep taxes low.

Well its time to go home and begin campaigning for American’s Future. We can’t wait to welcome Senator McCain and Governor Sarah to Scranton and Northeastern Pennsylvania.

"OH WHAT A NIGHT"

“Oh What a Night”

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah was the chant of the night. Wow!

It was as a great experience to be part of history last night. Sarah introduces herself to the America public. She hit a home run. What a breath of fresh air. There was so much energy in the room you could feel it all the way back in Northeastern, Pennsylvania.

Well! Scranton made history again. She was speaking to our values and spirit of our people in Northeastern Pennsylvania. What a great image of a mother and her family on the stage for the world to see. Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin will surly win the hearts of Northeastern, Pennsylvania.

She made a direct appeal to our small towns from Scranton, Dunmore, Wilkes-Barre, White Haven, Honesdale, Tunkhannock, Towanda and beyon.

Well getting ready for tonight. Senator John McCain will lay out his goals and plans to make America better and energy efficiency. You think last night was great! Watch tonight.

CONVENTION DAY 2

Convention Day 2

Well we are finally getting down to business.

First the people of Minneapolis-St. Paul are just as friendly as the people of Northeastern, PA. So far we are treated so kindly.

The day started out with a preview of “American Carol” a satire look at Michael Moore and liberal left. The movie opens on Oct 3, 2008.

Former Senator Rick Santorum spoke to the delegation and is now overwhelming supporting McCain-Palin ticket. He said that Governor Palin is a true conservative and a reformer. The Governor is a great choice to be the next vice president. She is a maverick just like Senator John McCain.

Here we go again the liberal are using the politics of personal destruction. They just don’t know how to react. Remember history-liberals do not win presidential elections.

Tuesday night was the beginning to show the public how Senator McCain is putting county first. The highlight of night was hearing from great speakers and paying tribute to some great presidents. Former Senate Fred Thompson address the convention and gave a great speech showing Senator McCain character and strengths to be president.

The wow speech of the night was from Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, a former democrat now an independent. He came out in full support of the McCain-Palin ticket and ask all American to make their choice for president base on the person not the party. He ask the democrats to think and make the right choice Senator McCain for President.

Did you see those yellow towel waving on the convention floor? Well that was the Pennsylvania delegation.

Wednesday is going to be a big night: It will the first time the American public will see and get to know Governor Sarah Palin.

She was warmly received. Also making appearance was the former Governor of New York George Pataki and American Hero that was John McCain roommate in the prison camp.

Last night was great. The host committee treated the delegation from all 50 states at Civic Fest. located at the Minneapolis Convention Center. It was a great opportunity to meet delegates from all over the United States at the Fest. You could fine almost everything with a GOP or elephant logo on it from hats to candy mints.

Highlites of the day were meeting the people of FOX NEWS NETWORK and attending a lunchon at the Circus Juventas.
