Roughly 50 folks gathered in the mall rotunda to witness the runway fashion show. “The excitement in the room is palpable,” noted one TV cameraman as we waited for the show to begin.

RNC president Maria Cino noted that the convention will kick off in 100 days and expressed her adoration for the Twin Cities. “A big part of what we love is right here,” she noted, “the Mall of America.”

Based on today’s fashion show, the RNC believes delegates also love cheesy T-shirts (“when in Minnesota fly Air Force One”), goofy hats — and Zubaz. Bloomington Mayor Gene Winstead, who looks uncannily like Rudy Guiliani, seemed particularly keen on the latter fashion accessory. Here’s a slideshow of the event:
