GOP Convention, Pt. 2

Saying this week has been one of the most exciting of my life is a complete understatement. I've crossed paths with more influential people than I could have ever imagined, met some of the most powerful individuals in Republican politics and the media, and witnessed one of the most important events of a political campaign.

The best person I've met thus far (besides my favorite Fox News-ers) has to be Karl Rove, Bush '43s senior advisor. It was refreshing, because minutes before I had just met Chris Matthews, who lived up to every negative comment I've heard about him. The man was clearly not enthused to be there, and he had no problem showing it when I walked up to meet him. Luckily, Karl Rove was coming down the stairs with a huge smile on his face, excited to be there and to greet anyone and everyone eager to meet him.

Diane Sawyer was walking around the floor... at first I mistook her for a young 30-something reporter. She's just looks that great. 

Starting ceremonies, Reince Priebus rallying everyone.

Craig Romney

The official first night. We have the best view in the house!

Ann Romney, Mitt Romney and Condoleezza Rice are all here... can you spot them?

Post Convention Hardball taping. Matthews was ripping apart Gov. Chris Christie's speech. I had to restrain myself from booing.
