... Unless you're a conventioneer. One of the great things about attending national conventions (whether you're a Republican or Democrat) is the functions that are thrown by various groups throughout the week. The post-convention parties are thriving even as legislation is passed aimed at stopping the influence of corporate groups in politics.
For example, the National Federation of Young Republicans, along with the Rock the Vote organization, threw a great party/concert at a trendy nightclub in downtown Minneapolis Sunday night. Last night, AT&T threw a great event at an Irish Pub for members of the North Carolina and Wisconsin delegations. But those are just a few examples, because every night delegates are forced to decide between numerous parties, watching Mike Huckabee play with his band or spending a quiet evening at the bar in their hotel.
No matter what a delegate ends up choosing, my stomach and my wallet can tell you that at a National Convention the free lunch (and dinner) is very much alive.
