GOP convention: Jill Buck leads CA volunteer effort
I caught up with Jill Buck of Pleasanton at the RNC’s delegate party Sunday night in Minneapolis. She was late but through no fault of her own: The police-escorted shuttles buses for the California delegation went to the wrong convention center.
The delegate party was in downtown Minneapolis; the buses went to the Xcel Center in St. Paul. The two downtowns are about 10 miles apart,
I know how that happens. My college and I believed our credentials were at Xcel but you can’t get into Xcel without your credentials. So, we went to Minneapolis. While we were in Minneapolis, McCain was doing a press conference via a live feed at Xcel.
But Buck wasn’t discouraged. She is one of the most optimistic people I know.
I persuaded her to talk on video for me about her plans to help put together a volunteer effort for Hurricane Gustav.
