A big neener neener neener to the Dems, from The Washington Times' Inside Politics, 17 Aug '04 edition:
Nearly one in five delegates to the 2004 Republican National Convention is a veteran of the U.S. armed forces or an active member of the military, the party announced yesterday."We appreciate their sacrifice and are grateful for their service, both to their country and to our democratic process," RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie said.
Veterans will make up 15 percent of the Republican delegation, and active military personnel will make up 3 percent of the delegates traveling. In comparison, veterans made up 11.5 percent of delegates to the Democratic convention last month.
About 720 veterans and 140 active-duty personnel will attend the Republican convention, which also will feature a delegation that is 17 percent minority and 44 percent female — numbers that stood at 10 percent and 36 percent four years ago.
Sadly this female will not be attending. I was looking forward to her reports, but I applaud her decision.
She does have a list of those bloggers who will be on hand.
