Convention Wisdom
By Mitch Berg
I’ll be live-blogging the State GOP Convention this weekend – provided, of course, that the wifi situation pans out at the Convention Center.
My current plan is to attend, and live-blog, the State Auditor endorsement on Thursday, as well as the race for the Governor nod on Friday. I may also pop in to some of the other stops at the party.
This won’t be my first state convention, per se; I did manage to attend an afternoon session at the ’04 convention; the NARN broadcast, of course, from the ’06 event. We won’t be broadcasting this year, unfortunately – but that means I actually get to pay attention to what’s going on on the floor.
So it’ll be great!
Stay tuned!

I have an unavoidable conflict Thursday night, otherwise I’d stop by and toss Pat one more endorsement. I will be there all day and night Friday (hopefully carpooling with Lassie from FreedomDogs – she’s my precinct chair – whoda thunk it?). I doubt I’ll be there after that. After sitting thru 2 hours of minutiae and tug-o-war at the CD5 with a defined endpoint, don’t feel the need to sit thru unknown hours at state with no defined endpoint.

From a well-placed GOP source I understand that wi-fi will be available to all attendees. Password is: Scaife

Thanks Chad I will be bringing my Emmer POS laptop down on to the floor. Should be interesting.

This will be my first convention. I’m ready to get all up and unified.

Chairman Sutton just said on the delegate conference call that there will be wi-fi available and that they hope to generate a buzz with all the bloggers and twiterers.
Is twiterer a word?

i think you left out a ‘t’ Dave. Twitterers or tweeters I guess, sounds almost as bad as teabaggers, :/

Bill, as I understand it these things tend to run a little more efficiently due to the fact most people view it as a long party weekend. Hopefully people will be sober enough to vote for governor on friday night.

Which one of these two hapless chuckleheads is the rino?

More importantly, who is running against mark ritchie? Isn’t he the acorn drone? Hope we don’t rock the boat or make any waves, just be nice.

Jed,
“Rino” is one of those things in the eye of the beholder. Neither is a rino to me.
Dan Severson is running for SOS, andhe’s not interested in making nice with Ritchie. Check him out.
