John McCain accepted the nomination with a great speech. Listening to McCain one would not know that the Republicans have held the White House for the past eight years. In 1988 all the candidates wanted to be the next Reagan; this year it appears to be who doesn't want to be Bush.He continued the theme of cutting spending which is a welcome message to conservatives.
Our governor, Jon Huntsman Jr, nominated Sarah Palin for the vice presidency. It appears he had a touch of laryngitis as he had a rhaspy throat.Utah delegates had some fun with the balloon drop as the hit some balloons into the CNN booth. Anderson Cooper played along hitting some of the ballons back.It appears that Sarah Palin's theme song will be "Barricuda".
One of the memorable scenes for the convention was State Senate President John Valentine raising the roof.I also commend Leautinent Governor Gary Herbert for being the leading cheerleader of the delegation. He was the first to hold up signs and one could even catch him singing along a couple of times.
