Greetings from Minneapolis
Blogging from the RNC
I'm up in Minneapolis for the Republican National Committee meetings this week, leading up to next week's convention and will be blogging daily while I'm up here. I've also set up a Twitter feed (sign up here) so I can pass things along between trips to the hotel room...and a Flickr feed to pass along some interesting photos. Those will be available up at the top of the homepage for the next two weeks, so check back often for updates.
For the next few days I'll be working with fellow RNC members to try and reform our primary schedule for the 2012 primaries and beyond. The general consensus is that, with so many states continuing to rush to the front of the calendar in each cycle, we're moving towards what will soon be tantamount to a national primary - which pretty much everyone agrees is an awful idea. (I've written more on that previously here and here). The problem is getting enough states to agree on the solution.
The Rules Committee meets today, so more on that later.
In the meantime, we're having a great time watching the entertainment from Denver...and waiting to see if Bubba continues to stick it to Obama tonight.
Stay tuned.

ANWR Drilling
I see on Politico that ANWR drilling has been put on the back burner for now. Seems McCain will likely address this option once taking office, anyway. I can see the necessity in that, I guess.
I'm pretty pleased with JM's choices lately in offshore drilling. One things if certain. If Obama makes it into the White House, ANY prospect of cranking up our domestic oil reserve taps is pretty much definitely NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!
I thought the same thing,
I thought the same thing, myself.
I wonder what's going to come out of Denver as for the Democrat Party's platform on domestic drilling. When you compare Apples to Apples there, I think the American people are going to favor the Republican's approach coming out of the Republican convention. In fact, McCain should probably do a side-by-side comparison of energy platforms for a commercial.
