THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

Linden started roughing out this posting before starting to watch the Thursday night presentation. So, some mention of those activities will come at the end.

To this point, the convention has been a joy for this old conservative Republican to watch. The presentations by Laura Bush, Thompson, Lieberman, Romney, Lingle, Giuliani, and Huckaby each were enjoyable watching. If others were left off of this list, the omission was not intentional.

Linden chose the PBS station to watch, with one short excursion to one of the networks. In it, they were showing the short address by President bush: Linden had previously watched it on PBS. They had presented it, showing frequent and hearty applause. The network filled the applause part with dead air – thereby causing the President to look like he was stumbling. This was probably not unintentional.

Although probably well known, Linden was unfamiliar with the PBS announcers. The main man and a chubby older guy gave the impression of being democrats while the other guy, his name may be “Brooks”, may have slight leanings the other way. The female, her name was “Gwen” appeared visibly upset after the end of the Sarah Palin speech. It was not a good night for Obama supporters.

Among the Thursday night speakers were Pawlenty, Frist, Mutter, Brownback, Fallin, Graham, Ridge, Cindy McCain, and, of course, a great speech by John McCain.

This convention was a time of rejuvenation for the Republicans: Sarah Palin breathed fresh life into the campaign and much more that adequately filled her hoped for role.
