At one point, I found myself talking to a Senate press secretary, a former party spokesperson, and a pretty big-time public relations guy. One of the convention officials came by and suggested we didn't need to be spinning ourselves. The press section, he said pointing directly over our heads, was where there was work to be done. Another interesting aspect to floor activities are people running around with colored hats. It's all about the hats, really.
Red baseball caps signal pages.
The big boys in the hat department are those who wear orange hats which signify the delegation whips. Jr. A former GOP spokesman, Mike Collins, here to help out, told Hoffa that Collin's dad had been a huge fan of Hoffa's dad. The elder Mr. Collins is having a rough go physically right now and, at Hoffa's suggestion, Collins called his dad from his cell phone and put Hoffa on.
