Well, the 2007 MI GOP Convention is in the books, and there’s not much too much to report on. The big news, obviously, was Mitt Romney’s address to the convention. He definately capped off the day’s events Saturday. As MIRS News‘ Jack Spencer put it:

The Mitt ROMNEY presidential campaign copped top prize for attracting news media Saturday, as print, TV and radio reporters literally surged forward to greet Romney as soon as he made his appearance.

At a convention short on actual hard news, Romney’s 11:15 a.m. news conference became arguably the most anticipated event of the morning, as print and broadcast media awaited arrival of the former Massachusetts Governor at the appointed location. Romney was a few minutes late, which seemed to only add to the surge of reporters who finally greeted him. SNIP

Romney’s visit sets the stage for his national presidential campaign kickoff slated for Tuesday morning in Dearborn, Mich., a first-ring suburb of Detroit and the world headquarters of the Ford Motor Company. Site of the Romney announcement will be at the historic Henry Ford Museum.

And who is that with Mitt? Why none other that Grand Rapids Congressman Vern Ehlers, who represents the very same district as did Gerald R. Ford until he was tapped at President Nixon’s vice president.
