State GOP convention wrapup...

Ok I spent 2 full days there and would have gone yesterday but I had to catch up on sleep. Thursday was a LOT longer than anyone thought it would be, mainly because Secretary of State and Attorney General endorsements got moved up from Friday to Thursday because everyone thought that the Governors endorsement would take more than 2 ballots. The State Auditor's race took 3 ballots and Pat Anderson captured the endorsement and got up there with the other 3 candidates Friday is a blur since I got to sleep at like 4am and was back at the convention at like 9:30. after the first ballot Emmer had 52% and it looked like it wasn't going to take forever after all. After the second ballot he was 78 delegates short and Marty gracefully conceded. He went out as a class act and did a lot to repairing my view of him.
