The Wall Street Journal reports that Kuhl won't attend the convention, along with a number of other Republicans who face tough races. (The Journal moves Randy to Michigan in that story, but it's New York's Kuhl they're talking about.)
Randy Kuhl is one of the local Republicans quoted in a Corning Leader story on Sarah Palin. He's gung-ho on the choice.
The best Palin quote I've seen so far comes McCain advisor Charlie Black:
She's going to learn national security at the foot of the master for the next four years, and most doctors think that he'll be around at least that long.
