COUNTDOWN to Republican State Convention

I am very excited about my chance to be a delegate to the Texas State Republican Convention. I will get to hear Mike Huckabee speak...BTW if John McCain doesn't pick Huckabee as his running mate I will be very disappointed. He still has to shore up the south. My worst nightmare come to life??? A McCain/Romney ticket,

Anyhow, 12 days til we head to Houston for the convention. We are going to be wearing loud red, white and blue outfits...My mother even bought a Johnson County Republican Party hat for each of us. I'm not sure I'll go that far. Turns out this thing is going to cost me a pretty penny. There's a $35 facilities fee...what?...the Republican Party of Texas doesn't have the money to rent out the convention center? Give me a break! Also, every time you turn around there's an invitation to a dinner, Republican Party of Texas "official" dinner...ticket to get in? $75 Eagle Forum dinner...$65...to hear Phyllis Schlafly and David Barton. Actually I'm probably going to swing for that one. At least I'll be among my own kind.

Oh and there's evidently an election to select a "national committeewoman and committeeman"...don't even know what that is, but I have received around 10 advertisements for various candidates.

Should be an interesting weekend!
