The Fashion & Style section, even. He was photographed - in his signature cowboy hat - and quoted, although they put him in South Carolina. What can you do? (Is that better than North Dakota?)

Of course, there was no dampening the enthusiasm of some convention goers. At a “Sex, Politics and Cocktails” party on Monday, sponsored by the Planned Parenthood political action fund, Bill Walsh, a delegate from South Carolina, dressed the patriotic part in a cowboy hat and a button-down shirt in an American flag pattern. “The air is thin and we’re all high,” Mr. Walsh said.

The story focused on a lackluster party scene at this year’s convention. Those of us acquainted with Walsh won’t be surprised that he found a way to have fun despite an apparent dearth of merriment.

The photo of Walsh - who has been on board the Obama bandwagon since the beginning - was featured on the NYT homepage at the time of this post.

No word on whether Walsh had any success in his quest to get the entire SD delegation in cowboy hats. (I would pay to see Sharon Stroschein in a western get-up.)
