The Republican National Convention culminated last night with the acceptance speech of President George W. Bush. KSMU's Missy Shelton has been in New York City all this week covering the Missouri delegates for KSMU. She asked several delegates to reflect on the experiences they've had this week.
MISSOURI DELEGATE CINDY STEIN OF SPRINGFIELD SAYS SHE'S TAKEN ON THE ROLL OF CHEERLEADER FOR THE DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES.
STEIN SAYS TAKING THAT EXCITEMENT BACK TO MISSOURI IS IMPORTANT NOW THAT CONVENTION IS OVER.
AND WHEN CINDY GETS BACK HOME, SHE SAYS SHE'LL BE WORKING HARD.
LIKE CINDY STEIN, MISSOURI DELEGATE DAVID COLE OF CASSVILLE SAYS IN FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS AND SERVED AS AN ARKANSAS DELEGATE AT THE CONVENTION.
ARKANSAS IS THE HOME STATE OF FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON WHO NOW LIVES IN NEW YORK.
CALWELL SAYS THE DAYS OF CLINTON ARE OVER AND ARKANSAS IS BECOMING MORE REPUBLICAN.
AND CALWELL'S FELLOW ARKANSAS DELEGATE ANN BRENTON, ALSO OF FAYETTEVILLE SAYS SHE'S HOPEFUL MORE REPUBLICANS WILL GET ELECTED TO OFFICE IN ARKANSAS.
SHE SAYS SHE'S ALSO HAD A GREAT TIME AT THE CONVENTION AND WHAT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT FOR HER?
NOW THAT THE CONVENTION IS OVER, DELEGATES FROM MISSOURI AND ARKANSAS ARE HEADING BACK TO THEIR HOMES.
THEY SAY THIS WEEK HAS GIVEN THEM THE ENERGY THEY NEED TO WORK HARD BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER.
