Tonight at the X

Erik Paulsen, Republican candidate in MN's 3rd Congressional District, will address the Republican National Convention tonight around 5:30. He'll speak for about five minutes on his reform and pro-growth agenda.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty will also give a short speech around 7 p.m. about Sen. John McCain's life story.

Pawlenty also told WCCO radio that the podium setup inside the Xcel Energy Center is being reworked into the kind of town-hall setting in which McCain is most comfortable.
