Pawlenty in Denver

Mary Lahammer — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:46:38 -0500

Gov. Tim Pawlenty led the RNC's press conference pre-buttal to Obama's big speech in the Mile High stadium in Denver. The effort is called "Not Ready 08: A Mile High, An Inch Deep." Pawlenty said the question is "Sen. Obama what have you done and what have you run?"

Of course the question for Pawlenty is if he will be picked tomorrow as Sen. McCain's running mate. He said he is still scheduled to be in Minnesota tomorrow. He didn't give us much other than when asked about his experience Pawlenty did note he has personally led the National Guard, led the House Majority in Minnesota, and led the state as governor. In his remarks Pawlenty noted Obama has been called a "rock star" and a "gifted orator" I had to remind Pawlenty that his opponents have called him the very same thing.

Diverse Delegation

Mary Lahammer — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 21:38:17 -0500

Minnesota is standing out in the huge arena for its diversity and youth. The national media has taken note. David Gilbert-Pederson is the youngest delegate at 17. He has been a media darling conducting a bevy of international interviews from MSNBC to World Wrestling Entertainment (who he said was the most fun and surprisingly informed).

The delegates tell me they have the largest percentage of Indian Americans with six. There are 25 African Americans and seven Latinos.
Many told me what surprise they've been greeted with other state's delegates who still see Minnesota as rather old and white.
