Tuesday, September 2, 2008- Live from the Convention

With hundreds of signs waving throughout the crowd that read ”Country First” and “Service,” the night kicked off with a differant wave of momentum than the previous session.  The central theme was summarized by Joe Lieberman’s quote “Country matters more than the party.”

Fred Thompson got the crowd on their feet with a motivating, yet straightforward speech highlighting the character and service of John McCain.  He seemed to be the most persuasive speaker of the night receiving several standing ovations and chants of “U-S-A” and “Country First.” 

Pictures of the event are below. Check back tomorrow for a more detailed description on the night’s events and speakers.
