St. Paul protesters have made an impact here at the Republican National Convention. They have closed roads, made entrance difficult and even damaged local businesses.

The KRMG Election Experience went on a hunt Thursday evening. We wanted to visit the Oklahoma delegation on the convention floor, not an easy task.

The media credentials we have are not good for the floor so we have to check out passes that get us there for a short time.

So, always in the quest for some video, we took off to the XCEL Energy center and found the good folks

Broadcasting from the conventions has been the chance of a lifetime. The KRMG Election Experience has met some unique and fascinating people and one of them is Les Kinsolving.

Les has reported from the White House since the final term of Richard Nixon and has not missed a beat since then.

As we worked the halls of the conventions we got to know Les and wanted you to have a chance to meet him as well.

Listen to Les, and watch the video as well.

Mayor Hammons came to the convention with one big goal, to meet former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

He finally had that chance on Thursday and you can see the picture, hear the audio and see the video as well.

The Republican Convention comes to an end Thursday night when Senator John McCain accepts the party's nomination for President.

Up until now the backdrop for the major speeches has been the same. A simple stage with a large video screen behind it frames one side of the arena.
