I have been here in Cleveland since Friday morning. Everything is going smoothly. I think the fact that the Rules Committee peacefully worked out their problems and that we are hearing that the Republican Platform is the most Conservative in history. As far as protestors? I hear there are concrete walls and that they are taking every precaution in the world to keep us safe. Right now, I am not worried.

This afternoon we go to see the movie "HIllary's America," D'Nesh D'Souza's new movie. He will be there taking questions, and then to a big party downtown with the Doobie Brothers and you're Synyrd. That will be the first time I am downtown. I will report from there.

Argh, I wish Jim Robinson would put an edit button after the fact. I meant Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Thank you for the on the spot reporting. I look forward to hearing/reading all of your reports.

Thanks Hildy. I just awoke and am seeing the posts. I’m feeling good about it. This is just one of those unusual years, where a lot seems to be taking place at once. Sort of like my fuzzy memories of 1968.
