On to Minnesota!




     From The Copy Desk: The big day is here. Warren and Marty are setting off for Minnesota and the first events in their attempt to gain a small, but crucial, number of delegates to the Republican National Convention. They may even get to meet Donald Trump!

 
Marty, Warren's campaign manager, 
unwinds after work.



     "It's packed in the car," Warren shouted. Good, Marty thought, the last detail taken care of.
     "Tell me again why we need a red ice scraper," Warren said.
     "Because we're going to Fargo too," Marty said. "And I plan to plant it along some lonely fence line to mess with people."
     "I think when we get there, we'll see lots of red ice scrapers along the fence line," Warren said. "So now it's time for The Boys to catch a quick nap and prepare for the long drive, which they will probably sleep through anyway, but they like to be prepared when it comes to sleep.
     "See you in about two hours," Marty said, setting down his files and notes. The trip now also includes stops in many states, including Montana and Nevada, and Marty figured Warren would need to practice his campaign stylings in remote places to avoid too much embarrassment - although if it works for Trump ..........
     

     From The Copy Desk: With that thought, Marty drifted off to sleep. Updates from the road may be forthcoming, if all the technology cooperates.
