Being on the floor of the Republican National Convention before, during, and after John McCain's acceptance speech Thursday night is something I'm likely never to forget. In fact, I still remember being on the floor in Philadelphia for 69 News when George W. Bush accepted the GOP nomination in 2000. And I can tell you, the level of energy and excitement on the floor was on the level, if not moreso, tonight than it was then. No matter what political affiliation you might be, there is history being made and it's exciting to witness it in person.
After McCain's speech, I managed to work my way over to Pennsylvania Republican Party Chairman Bob Gleason just as he carefully climbed onto a chair and removed the state delegation's sign from its metal pole. Unfortunately, I was standing too close for the picture because the pole then came down and hit me on the head. It hurt, but I'm OK. Just add it to the list battle scars I'm taking home with me from the last two weeks.
