In less than a month, the Republican National Convention will take place in St. Paul. The convention hall at the Xcel Energy Center is starting to take shape.

Arizona Sen. John McCain is expected to accept the Republican nomination for president at the convention. But some Republicans in the region have had a hard time getting behind him.

Georgia and Ed Pullen of Wahpeton, N.D. have even launched a Web site for those reluctant Republicans. It encourages those folks to "hold their noses" and vote for McCain.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer talked with Georgia Pullen about the couple's Web site.
