GOP Convention: Cindy McCain
September 1, 2008, 9:13pm
ST. PAUL — On the first evening of the Republican convention here, the wife of presidential candidate John McCain joined first lady Laura Bush on stage after messages from the governors of Gulf Coast states, all Republicans, were played remotely for the delegates.
Like Bush, Cindy McCain kept her speech focused on the threat of Hurricane Gustav and the threat it posed in the gulf, particularly to Louisiana. The first lady and wannabe first lady invited people to contribute to relief efforts in the gulf via Web sites for each state. The Web addresses were flashed on the circular electronic billboard above the floor of the Xcel Center.
