Happy to join you for this benediction of our sunrise service. I assume everyone here is impressed with my control of this convention in that my choice for Vice President was challenged by only 39 other nominees. I think we learned from watching the republicans four years ago, as they selected their Vice President ial nominee, that it pays to take a little more time.
