Say goodbye: Eagan, Minn., temporary home to wayward
journalists, bloggers and other ne'er-do-wells during the
2008 Republican convention. Now it's just a memory.
I've returned to the old homestead after nearly a week in the Twin Cities covering the 2008 GOP convention.
A few notes:
America -- What a country!
Extra: What's creating more interest, the presidential or VP debates? Polls seem to indicate the Biden-Palin match-up on Oct. 2.

I've returned to the old homestead after nearly a week in the Twin Cities covering the 2008 GOP convention.
A few notes:
- Minnesota -- a great place to visit...not sure I'd want to live there in the winter.
- The star of the show? -- At a political convention, you'd think it would be the presidential candidate. This time, however, it was the VP candidate. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is still wowing 'em.
- The GOP still has no clue when it comes to using music in videos and at events. Using Heart's "Barracuda" matched-up well with Palin (her nickname is "Sarah Barracuda"), but it isn't about an aggressive female basketball star who goes on to become governor (it's about a greasy music industry type). It also doesn't help that Heart doesn't dig Palin. Throughout the convention, the GOP audio/visual club resorted to continuously playing the sappiest stuff from the '80s. (It seems like they're always 20 years behind the curve when it comes to popular culture.)
