The convention got off to a great start on another front - the technical aspects of moving a big chunk of the 35,000 people who have come to Philadelphia to and from the Comcast First Union Center. The Bush convention manager is a man named Andy Card. Card was deputy chief of staff for President Bush and later Secretary of Transportation. At a meeting in Your Nation's Capital a few weeks ago, Card said he felt a former Transportation Secretary had a special responsibility for that aspect of the convention. It worked perfectly.
Busses are plentiful, run regularly, and go to the location advertised.
The credential issue we touched on yesterday was in full evidence last night. The best credential is, of course, having the Secret Service clear a path for you. Short of that the best credential is on which allows you to actually get on the convention floor. Delegates have that credential of course. Some media have that credential.
