Congressman Fleishmann also spoke to our group. Congressman Duncan is here with us and will speak to us later in the week. We have many of our state legislators here with us. I expect to see our Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey later this evening, our Speaker Harwell Wednesday and our Governor Haslam later in the week, probably Thursday. The theme of our convention is "A Better Future." Our morning update states "We Can Do Better." "During the last campaign, Barack Obama promised so boldly, but during his administration, he delivered so poorly. The result - the longest sustained period of high unemployment since the Great Depression, lower pay for middle-class families, rising national debt, dashed hopes and diminished dreams. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are prepared to implement an optimistic, achievable plan to increase opportunity and shared prosperity for Americans of every class, every age and every ethnic background. Mitt Romney refuses to believe that America's future is one of long-term unemployment and widespread proverty. He will never accept that we've been outdone, or that American workers can no longer compete. Mitt Romney knows we can do better - and he's got a plan to make sure of it."Nashville Scene, by Steven Hale on Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 10:52 AM

Hurley, the outgoing state representative, and famously, former Hooter's
waitress, has graciously agreed to be our primary source at the
Republican National Convention. We can't be there ourselves, so we'll be
checking in with her throughout the week for updates on all the
politicking, speech-making, and hobnobbing — but mostly the hobnobbing. ....
Hurley explains that delegates from swing states are put up closer to
the heart of the convention, presumably an act of encouragement to
remind them how much they're needed in November. Delegates from
in-the-bag states like Tennessee won't be on the front lines of the
presidential race, and so they find themselves a bit further from the
action. Moreover, to get to the city they must cross a causeway, which
the state of Florida closes when wind speeds exceed 45 mph.
