The Seven People You値l Meet At The Convention

This is from the local Tampa "alternative paper."

THE CONVENTION DELEGATE

Easily the happiest people you’ll meet at the convention, the delegates will be known to you by their patriotic attire and the abundance of political flair they’ll be wearing on their persons. They’re a mix of grassroots activists and people with great political connections. The job of the convention delegate is simple: They hold signs for the teevee cameras, for hours. Still, they pull this off with superhuman levels of enthusiasm, somehow. They will likely be exhausting to talk to.



A WISER, MORE BITTER VERSION OF YOURSELF

Once the convention is over and the madness has moved on, you’ll have a chance to take stock of what you’ve just experienced. If you’ve come to the convention city, you’ll have eaten too little, drunk too much, and not had a normal night’s sleep or a stress-free bowel movement in days. If you’ve endured the convention as a resident of the host city, you’ll be relieved to have your streets clear of security checkpoints and your bars free of out-of-town douchebags. If you’re smart, the convention is something you’ll not want to do again anytime soon. If you’re lucky, you won’t have to.

I know they have a ton of Srah Palin impersonators. Of course, these GOP folks better be careful, as a lot of Joe redner's ladies are actually Brianiacs paying off their student loans, they are exactly the type to snap a photo of the "proud christian male" going into ther men's room.

Snow White sounds like something immoral, illegal, or fattening.
