And they need to look the part. While delegates and other members of the Model Convention will spend the next five months researching the ways Republicans think about national issues and candidates so they can play their roles well, they can start right now on at least looking the part. Well, first they plaster themselves with buttons. Not the fastener kind the political kind. Buttons on these sites average a dollar apiece.
Delegates can also make their own buttons.
Convention participants should also be wearing identification. Identification badges should be large enough and clear enough to be easily read, and colorful. Information should include the participant s first and last name and the delegation s state. Delegates generally do not indicate the name of the high school they attended on their badges. Chairpeople might want to consider identifying their position in the delegation on their badges as well.
