Following adoption of Rules, Credentials, Permanent Organization recommendations, the convention approved the platform as proposed by the Platform committee. You can read the platoform by clicking here.
We watched video links from 4 of the 5 governors, all republican, of the Gulf Coast states -- Governor Perry, Texas; Governor Crist, Florida; Governor Riley, Alabama; and Governor Barbour, Mississippi, that would enable people to make contributions to those in need as a result of hurricane Gustav.
First Lady Laura Bush and Cindy McCain also addressed the convention and joined in rallying support for the response for hurricane Gustav. This concluded the day's official convention events which had been significantly curtailed.
I have been interviewed by Politico, More Magazine, National Journal, and PBS/To the Contrary. Most of the questions relate to Sen. McCain's choice of Governor Palin as his running mate. They ask me what I think about his choice, how I handle being a new mom in Congress, the challenges of balancing the responsibilities of the job with the demands of being a good wife and mother, and the joy of both the Palin's and us having a son with Down syndrome.
In my opinion, Governor Palin is a bold and exciting pick that demonstrates the Republican Party is focused on the future and changing how Washington DC does business. She brings a unique and important perspective that is grounded in her role as a wife, mother of five, governor and someone who isn't afraid to shake up the status quo. She leads a state that matters to every one of us and she's a leader in the fight to make America energy independent.
