Minneapolis -- The last breakfast speaker this week for the Wisconsin delegation was Michael Steele, the head of the Republican Party's fund-raising arm, GOPAC.
Steele, a former lieutenant governor of Maryland, came up with one of the most popular chants on the convention floor Wednesday night: "Drill, baby, drill." It was his shorthand for what to do immediately regarding energy prices.
Steele said in the run-up to last night's speech by Sarah Palin, the party's vice-presidential pick, many people asked him what to expect.
"I told them, 'I know Sarah Palin. Sarah Plain is a friend of mine. You don't want to mess with Sarah Palin,'" he said. "She hit it out of the park."
