Bush for a second term as President of the United States. Days before the delegates even arrived, anti-Bush protestors and dissidents from within the Party took to the streets to cast their own "votes" on the Administration's policies. While the hard right wing of the Republican Party was mostly absent from the podium -- at least during the primetime television slots -- one of the hardest of the right, candidate for the U.S. Senate from Illinois ALAN KEYES, still managed to get in some highly publicized, homophobic digs during an interview with MICHELANGELO SIGNORILE on Sirius Satellite Radio's OutQ channel. Meanwhile, the GLBT Log Cabin Republicans spent the week trying to recreate the "Big Tent" concept that had once made the Party more "moderate friendly," and journalist REX WOCKNER covered the convention in radio reports throughout the week [with thanks to Free Speech Radio News, includes comments by Queer Kiss-In protesters NOAM DULGAN and JOSH GLASSER; and Wockner's Advocate/OutQ News reports include comments by New York City Mayor MICHAEL BLOOMBERG, Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director PATRICK GUERRIERO, anti-GOP demonstrator ANN NORTHROP, openly gay delegates CARL SCHMID, BOB KABEL and CHRISTOPHER BOWMAN, President GEORGE W.
