Delegation Meeting

Team Meeting 

At 4 PM there was a meeting for Delegates and Alternates only.  There are nearly 600 members in our delegation, but only 59 Delegates + 59 Alternates.  Bobby Schostak (State Party Chairman) got the crowd fired up.

Our special guest was RNC Chairman Reince Priebus.  He made it clear that Bobby is doing a fantastic job and is one of the top state party chairman in the country. 

Reince stressed to all of us that "this presidents priorities are NOT Americas priorities".   That the Romney campaign clearly sees Michigan as an important state that they can win.

One of the final speakers was our own Ronna Romney McDaniel. With her dad Scott Romney sitting in the front row, she spoke of how important Michigan is and thanked us for all the work we have done to this point.  She will make a great candidate herself one day :)
