264 Days until Election Day
MORNING UPDATE:
Thousands of Republicans gathered in Lansing…ready to take on the Democrats this November. You could feel the excitement in the air!
Delegates from across the state were elected and will be confirmed today to participate at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis over the Labor Day weekend.
We will hear from Senator John McCain, First Lady Janet Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land, Attorney General Mike Cox and others!!!
National Review says: “Conservatives and McCain should neither pretend that we have no differences nor obsess about those differences. We should instead work on the common task of building a center-right majority in this election year…”

Michigan is sending a full delegation to the National Convention and has a commitment from Senator McCain to seat our full delegation. With the leadership of Chuck Yob, Holly Hughes, Cong. Fred Upton…and Political Director John Yob….count on great seating on the floor of the convention and the best hotel! We’re counting on you!!!
THE REST OF THE STORY:
No more commentary today…summary coming later today following convention.

gets seated. The RNC proposed to penalize MI, and then relented. NOW, when the Clinton's NEED their MI delegates, they can point to the Republican MI delegates and claim that it is ONLY FAIR that their delegates be seated as well.
It is wonderful theater. The MI delegates will not change ANYTHING at the Republican Convention -- obviously you do not wish to accept the fact, but JOHN McCAIN IS THE NOMINEE! Deal with it.
On the other hand, ANYTHING that helps to tear the Democrat Convention apart is wonderful. I'm already gathering bricks to send to the protesters.

There were rules. They were broken. It is a shame and dissapointment that McCain could not enforce the rules any more than he can enforce the boarders.
If, on the very day of the convention, the full delegation from MI shows up with McCain's backing, it will stand as a sign that he is a sell-out and a traitor to the GOP.
This is about a fundemental issue of fairness. It is about saying that cheaters should not be rewarded.
