Hats off to the convention

Beyond the speeches, the Republican National Convention has offered a chance for Americans to show up, and off, for causes that they care about. The Texas delegation has been living large this week in Philadelphia. Texas delegate Wayne Turner (above) sported a button the size of a satellite dish at the Aug. 2 session.

At left, Jacob Bragdon and Eli Steiker-Ginzberg (right) see eye to eye with Jason, a stilt walker and healthcare protester July 29.

Below, former Republican Sen. Alfonse D'Amato seems quite taken with the headgear of Fran Libous, a delegate from his home state of New York.
