Silicon Valley at the Convention

DATELINE SEPTEMBER 3, 2009 MINNEAPOLIS, MN...Silicon Valley is well represented at the GOP Convention this week. And tonight, some of our stars will be on display.

Former eBay Chair and CEO Meg Whitman is part of the California delegation. She has been a high profile and tireless surrogate for McCain, engaging the media, delegates and VIP's. Tonight she will address the Convention live between 6pm and 7pm PST (between 8pm and 9pm EST).

Also slated in the same time bloc is former HP CEO Carly Fiorina. She has been a relentless advocate for the McCain-Palin ticket.

The only Republican to represent a portion of Silicon Valley, State Senator Abel Maldonado, will also address the convention. Abel and I served together in the State Assembly where we were seatmates. Abel is a remarkably effective legislator and will do a great job tonight.

The California delegation also includes former California GOP Chair Duf Sundheim and former Silicon Valley GOP Central Committee chairman Keen Butcher. All three of us have been engaged in media interviews throughout the convention.

Other good news for Moderate Republicans is the prime time speech tonight from former NY Mayor Rudy Guiliani.

All of these leaders are known for their maverick styles, sound judgment and mainstream viewpoints. No wonder they're so strongly supporting John McCain.

Expect to hear a great deal about the economy, judgement and national security.
