Lat night was amazing. We had 5 Medal of Honor recipients, 25 of John McCain's fellow POWs, President and First Lady Barbara Bush and the sister of a fallen Seal and Medal of Honor recipient in the crowd. It was a night of many standing ovations and it was amazing to be in their presence.
Mark was able to borrow Becky Lockhart's delegate pass for me so I had a few minutes on the floor of the convention hall. For a political junkie, it was a great night. I had my picture taken with Sen. Hatch while Laura Bush was being interviewed by CNN just over our shoulders.
Mark and I also attended the "Life of the Party" party hosted by republicans for Life. While we were there I was approached by a reporter for the AP. He asked me, "Does it bother you that Sarah Palin was born a Catholic, raised in Communities of Christ, you know, speaking in tongues, and now attends a non-denominational Christian Church. You know she has... shopped around a bit with her faith." If this and a 20 year old DUI by her husband are the best they've got on Governor Palin, I think we have a real winner on our side. I cannot wait for her speech tonight.
Earlier yesterday, the Utah delegation heard from Sen. Mithc McConnell, teh Minority leader in the Senate. He said the Senate is the firewall. As long as we have 40 seats we can stop most of the really bad stuff from becoming law. Our prospects for gaining seats in the Senate this fall are not great.

We are glad to have someone on the inside. We wish Mitt had spoken longer, but also enjoyed what Huckabee had to say.
