Patriot Games
Posted by The Editors | 03:24 PM
Just before the start of Wednesday's Youth Convention, Generation Y Republicans were treated to a surprise preview of the evening's podium schedule. At 11:15 a.m., Rick Santorum and conclave star Zell Miller paused on stage briefly during the keynoter's run-through. Attendees cheered and snapped photos as the party's conference chairman and favorite Democrat smiled for their adoring fans.
Youth conventioneers awaiting the opening gavel were then entertained by a brief game of stand-up/sit-down. Baylor University alumnus Dennis McDaniel, singing his own original arrangement of the National Anthem to open today's convention, started his warmup several times before completing the piece for the audience, who lept to attention with each, "Oh say can you see." All the good patriots dilligently held hands over hearts for each round. Bravo. -- From Meg Kinnard, NationalJournal.com
