pdate: I realized that after reading my post over again, I mistated about Governor Sarah Palin's historic vice-presidenital status. She is the first female VP on the Republican Party ticket.Today was another very exciting day in the Page program at the Republican National Convention. A very long day though (we left at 7 this morning and I just got back about 30 minutes ago- which makes this a 16 hour day).
Spent the morning with some speakers- panel discussion on the role of media in the 2008 conventions and then a panel discussion on the youth vote in the 2008 elections. Both very interesting and informative.
Also got to hear from Mr. Kennedy (a WWE Friday Night Smackdown Superstar). I don't watch wrestling and didn't know anything about him but he was a very entertaining guy and a strong Republican!
After all the speakers, we headed over to the Xcel Center where we put all the documents on the chairs for the delegates and alternate delegates. In addition, we played a big part in rallying the crowd tonight with leading sign waves and chants!
The theme for the evening was Service and the evening focused on the service of former Republican presidents, our military and Senator John McCain. Keynote speeches came from Former Senator Fred Thompson of Tennessee and Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut. It was great to have both of these wonderful men who have served our country present at the convention to celebrate McCain and his service to the United States of America. Senator Thompson's speech focused on McCain's background, whereas Senator Lieberman's speech focused on McCain's commitment to his country. This election is not about being a Republican or a Democrat or an Independent, but about being an American and choosing the best person that is ready to lead this country.
Country First!!! Vote McCain-Palin 2008.
Tomorrow's agenda at convention is Governor Sarah Palin's speech to the convention. This is a historic moment for America as a women is accepting the Vice-Presidency on a major party ticket for the first time ever. I am really pumped for her speech and what this means for America and especially the women of this country!

Sorry, but you got your facts wrong. Palin is not the first female to accept a nomination of Vice President on a major party ticket as you stated. That distinction went to Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate Geraldine Anne Ferraro 24 years ago. It's hard to believe you didn't know this as it's been mentioned on every news channel since Gov. Palin was chosen by McCain, and in fact, since Clinton began her campaign so long ago...
