In this picture, I am standing on the field of the Metrodome in Minneapolis as it is being converted from football to baseball. It was a really fun tour.
Tuesday night was fabulous. You could just feel the "Joe-mentum" rock the convention center as Lieberman made his case for McCain. Very nice.
Fred Thompson, Laura Bush and President Bush were also very good. I was able to meet both Newt Gingrich and Andrea Mitchell on the convention floor.
On Wednesday, we enjoyed another fabulous breakfast. Gov. Huntsman did a nice job on his remarks, and brought four other guests with him: Tom Kirk, a POW who was held captive with McCain; Drew Dicks, a recipient of the Medal of Honor; Rep. Heather Wilson; and one other congresswoman. It was an excellent program.
I borrowed a car and drove John Valentine, Gary Herbert, Marco Diaz and Ben Horsley to the convention center so we could be on the air with Doug Wright. We had a really nice time. I forgot my credentials, so I got turned away at the security check.
Herbert and Valentine sprung into action. They found the secret service and convinced them that I should be allowed to enter with them. It just goes to show that when travelling, it is never a bad idea to take a Senate President and a Lt. Governor with you.
That is all for today. Take Care.
