 We heard from the following:

Congresswoman Heather Wilson (R-NM), introduced by Mary Fallin

Former RNC Chair and former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson

Utah Governor Jon Huntsman

Former Senator and Governor and now Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne

Tom Kirk, a POW with John McCain

Andy McCain, who was the son of Carol, John’s first wife, from a pwilson.jpgrevious marriage, and then John adopted him, and now Andy serves as CFO for Cindy McCain’s company

Also, National Committeeman for Oklahoma Lynn Windel spoke regarding his and Bunny Chambers’ experience on the Platform Committee.  They cut the platform this year from 42,000 words to 21,000.

Also, every delegate received a personal letter from Congressman Tom Cole.

Today, the delegates are wearing matching red polos.
