So tonight's theme is PEACE. Yes... the Republicans are basing their final night on a concept they do everything they can to stay away from. The only way I can wrap my mind around this is to refer to the Republican Field Manual... you may have read it before. War Is Peace, Freedom Is Slavery, Ignorance Is Strength.

For the record, the original Monday Republican Convention Schedule is below. We had heard earlier today that Bush might address the convention via satellite, but not that there is no evening session, those plans are obviously up in the air.
See the original Monday schedule...
