GOP Convention Day 2

Today, the convention is back to normal. I believe that President Bush will adress the delegates via video, Fred Thompson and Joe Lieberman will also speak. Hopefully, today food and water will be available at the venue.

The Iowa delegation is sharing a hotel with Oregon. Last night a group of very conservative Iowa delegates were sitting in the lobby and the self-described most liberal member of the Oregon delegation came and joined us for about 4 hours of spirited discussion.

One of the side shows at this convention is the protesters. Yesterday there were some 10,000 protesters and almost 300 arrests. The protests turned violent with windows being broken and more. I will be at a party away from the convention site so I will be trying to walk to the convention center - through the gauntlet.
