'Red' states not pampered
Delegates from battleground states — like Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania or Florida — have the finest hotels, the choicest convention seating, the hottest breakfast speakers. Those from the reddest of the red states — Alabama, say, or Idaho—find themselves exiled to the nosebleed seats. The poor Texas delegation is stuck out at the airport Hilton, on a street called, somewhat ominously, Terminal Road.
