But aren't a delegate? That's a conondrum. But thankfully, the Minneapolis/St. Paul Host Committee is here to solve it. They're looking for 10,000 volunteers to help make the convention run smooth.

Volunteers will work in the areas of transportation, information services, hospitality and special events before, during and after the convention. They will also need to participate in one of two training sessions. One will be in July, the other in August.

If you're interested, go to their web site: www.MSP2008.com.

Click Enter Site in the upper left corner or the lower right corner.

Click Volunteer.  Read the directions and when you're ready click Apply Now.
