Republican National Convention- Saturday

I have arrived in the Twin Cities!

Today we had some great speakers just for the pages, including Maria Cino, CEO of the convention, and Kentucky’s own Mike Duncan, Chairman of the Republican National Convention. (He is a big deal!) Chairman Duncan has a great story. He is from Inez Kentucky and has been involved in every convention since 1972. He became friends with Karl Rove through College Republicans many years ago, and this helped lead to him becoming Chairman of the RNC. We are proud he is one of our own!

After the speakers we had some training and then went to the Mall of America. The Xcel Energy Center, where the convention is being held, is being swept through by secret service. We will get to tour it tomorrow morning. I can’t wait!

BTW- Everyone here is super excited about Governor Sarah Palin!
