RNC Convention in Pawlenty's backyard right on track

The Minneapolis Star Tribune is reporting that fundraising for the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul is on track and "flowing as anticipated."

"We're excited about the buzz that is out there about the convention," (Cindy) Lesher said. "The companies have been very receptive to talking to us and being involved in the convention planning."

We too are excited at Party of Pawlenty because part of the buzz revolves around Governor Pawlenty, and his new place as who, and what the GOP needs to be about as it market's its conservative and optimistic message to the voters in 2008.

There is a certain amount of irony that the Twin Cities were selected for the 2008 Republican National Convention.

Who would have known at the time of the selection that those descending on Minnesota would have the privilege of being welcomed by one of the parties most dynamic and successful new national leaders?
