Tuesday my alarm went off at 6:30 AM (after 5 hours of sleep) and I debated if I wanted to get up and make the 20 mile trek to the Michigan Delegation hotel for breakfast. The host was Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land and her orignally scheduled guest was Governor Halley Barbour of Mississippi.
As we all know, Barbour stayed in Mississippi to assess the damage by Gustav. So I did now know who the 'sub' would be. As you can see from the pictures, I am glad I made the trip.
One of the guests at my table for breakfast said "I will bet it is the first lady" I had left my camera in the car and at that point I decided it might be smart for me to go get it. As I walked back from the car I could see what appeared to be 6 secret service members...it was at that point that I knew my friend was right!
She came in and gave a short speech that fired up the audience. I spoke to Terri afterwords and she hinted that Governor Barbour was helpful in setting up Laura to join us.
