Most delegates, journalists, and other out-of-town visitors will head home today, after several days in the Twin Cities for the Republican National Convention.

Both Minneapolis and St. Paul were hoping the convention would bring some positive attention, and leave viewers around the country with a good image of the Twin Cities.

Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer talked with John Rash, who is senior vice president and director of media analysis at Campbell Mithun Advertising, about how the Twin Cities fared.
