St. Paul, MN (AP) -- Convention delegates often wear campaign buttons, red-white-and-blue clothing and special hats. But hockey jerseys?
That's what the Michigan delegation donned Wednesday night as a show of support for ``hockey mom'' Sarah Palin as the Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate addressed the convention.
The delegates were easy to spot. They were close to the podium wearing red-and-white Detroit Red Wings jerseys and chanting, ``Let's go, Palin.''
That's a variation on the ``Let's go, Red Wings'' chant heard during hockey season at Detroit's Joe Louis Arena.
Republicans probably hope a little of the Red Wings' luck rubs off on their candidates. The team won this year's Stanley Cup for the 11th time in June.
