Mich. delegates to support Palin with jerseys
Comments 0 | Recommend 0LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Convention delegates often wear campaign buttons, red-white-and-blue clothing and special hats. But hockey jerseys?
That's what the Michigan delegation donned Wednesday night as a show of support for "hockey mom" Sarah Palin as the Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate addressed the convention.
The delegates were easy to spot. They were close to the podium wearing red-and-white Detroit Red Wings jerseys and chanting, "Let's go, Palin."
That's a variation on the "Let's go, Red Wings" chant heard during hockey season at Detroit's Joe Louis Arena.
Republicans probably hope a little of the Red Wings' luck rubs off on their candidates. The team won this year's Stanley Cup for the 11th time in June.
