One of the highlights of the meeting was final approval of Minneapolis-Saint Paul as the site of the party's 2008 national convention.  Additionally, although none of the 2008 candidates addressed the meeting, there was a fair bit of politicking by their supporters in the hallways, during the breaks between sessions, and at a couple of receptions.  RNC members also heard from congressional leaders and participated in various committee meetings.  The 168 members of the RNC comprise one committeeman, one committeewoman and the chairperson from each state.
