Lt. Co. Allen West, an FR favorite, was the speaker. Mr. Loyd Marcus was one of the musical entertainers. Legendary comedian Jackie Mason sent a specialized video tape for the evening's entertainment.
Alas, despite my best efforts I can't post the link here, nor can I bring up any of the links in the long thread. They just come up blank.
Therefore, it must be an expired thread. So, I'm pinging JimRob to see if he can find it in the FR vaults and post it here.
Jim, the complete title of the thread is "Free Republic's National Convention Pre-Live Thread (and Updates 137, 138, 139, 151)".

Thanks, Leni/MinuteGal
It was such a great event. I went with my late husband. Brings a lot of joy when I think about it. While you’re getting old threads, how about GW Bush inauguration Ball with Mike Huckabee. I was there, were you?
Sounds like an awesome time.
