USCL and the Republican Convention

This is day 2.

Last night, the Boston Blitz beat the Carolina Cobra's 3-1. Larry Christiansen got a really fast draw against IM Lev Milman on board one. Denys drew Oleg Zaikov on board two. Returning player from 2006 Charles Riordan got a critical win against Fide Master Ronald Simpson as White.

Ronald Simpson just played 17... Nf6. Can you guess what Charles Riordan played?

On the last board, Marc Esserman made his debut to the USCL with a win against fellow National Master, Craig Jones. Right now, Boston is tied with the Miami Sharks and the Queens Pioneers. Miami beat the New York Knights so they have 0-2 and Queens beat the New Jersey Knockouts which are 1-1. The USCL adds two new teams to the division every time, last year, it was New Jersey and Queens which has a 1.5/2 record against New Jersey.

Last night was also day 3 for the Republican Convention in Minnesota. Former Governors Mitt Romney, Rudi Giuliani, and Mike Huckabee spoke. Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska, also spoke. I noticed that whenever they spoke, they all did two things. They never mentioned Bush, and they always talked about McCain serving his country more than Obama. Now that doesn't make sense to me. For some reason, people think that the person who has the greatest sob story will serve his country the most. Please comment.
