Kitsap Caucus

Ed Wolfe, a delegate at the GOP convention in St. Paul, Minn., was at a meeting of delegates this morning (Wednesday) when he excused himself to, shall we say, freshen up.

Upon arriving at the restroom, however, there were lots of Secret Service agents, who kindly suggested he return to his table for a while.

Wolfe said he knew what was up, so he found a position in the room, expecting to see the party’s nominee. Shortly after, John McCain walked in with his wife and was making his way through a group. Wolfe said he told the nominee, “Senator McCain, Ed Wolfe from Bremerton.”

Wolfe said McCain stopped walking immediately and said, “Bremerton, I love that place.” Then he put his hand over his heart.

Some may recall that Bremerton was the highlight of McCain’s 2000 campaign.

Wolfe said security and police presence is even more intense Wednesday than it was Tuesday. As he was calling me he was walking from a conference center to his hotel. His route took him right into a Code Pink protest. He held up the phone so I could hear them. They were singing some lyrics to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” but I couldn’t distinguish the words.
