NPR: Maniacs on the Floor

Maniacs on the Floor

Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan has gaveled the 2008 Republican National Convention -- such as it is -- to order.

The set is much less elaborate than the one at the DNC -- just a rectangular screen behind an art-deco-ish black stage. So far the giant monitor has just been playing footage of a billowing American flag.

Distracting your blogger: the matching outfits of the Texas delegation. They're all wearing denim shirts, khakis, and white cowboy hats. (Are those Republican hats or American hats?) The Floridians also seem to be wearing matching graphic-print shirts. Stylin'!

Although now that I mention it, if you count dark suits the other delegations are pretty well coordinated too...
