Today it was announced that the Grand Oil Party will hold their 2008 convention in the Twin Cities.
The main events, the traditional role call of the states, keynote address and the acceptance speach of the candidate that will be defeated in 2008 will take place at Xcel Energy Center.
No doubt Norm Coleman will be given a prominent spot as a speaker of some sort since he will be running for re-election at that time. It will be a good time to trot out the old Wellstone ad with a montage of Coleman declaring "I am a Democrat."
It will be a delightful celebration for them as they will be warmly welcomed by two Democratic Mayors, a Democratic Governor and a Democratic Junior Senator.
They should strongly consider inviting local talent for entertainment purposes- especially comedian Al Franken who could do a lengthy bit about Minnesota's senior Senator (who will be running for re-election). He might even have a word about his opponent.
The convention is scheduled for September 1-4th 2008, which seems late for a convention.
Pawlenty and Coleman (our fluffy senator) are no doubt going to bed tonight with dreams of riding this convention to high places (like VP candidate). To that, I think the idea is superb. Let Norman accept the candidacy for VP in 08. That would take him out of the running for senator that year and ultimately leave him unemployed in '09. Works for me.
