Robert is at the GOP convention in Philadelphia, and is spending some time with delegates and alternates from Michigan, to talk about their expectations for the week. A few weeks ago Robert traveled to Macomb County and Oakland Counties in Michigan, just outside Detroit. We hear from two delegates who are ardent Bush supporters, and two delegates who voted for McCain in the state primary, which he won. These four talk about issues like taxes and abortion, and the strength of Bush's character and accessibility to them. They also talk about what it will take to bring McCain voters and other independents into the fold, and what needs to happen this week in Philadelphia to energize them for the fall campaign.
