Congratulations to Nancy French for copping an interview with MSNBC. Nancy was a member of the grassroots Mitt Romney contingent at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference. (She also recently started a new blog, Tennesseans for Mitt.)

Nancy French, who said she writes political humor for a living and organized the Romney volunteer effort in Tennessee, told reporters that she and other volunteers had spent three weeks preparing for the Memphis event. “If we had twice that, we could have taken the whole thing,” an exuberant French told reporters.

Asked if she – like Romney – was a Mormon, French said, “No, I’m a Presbyterian. Everybody keeps coming over to me and saying, ‘Way to go, Sister French,’ and I’m – like – ‘thanks.’ I feel like I don’t know what to say.”

She said the Romney campaign had not called her to work on the Memphis event and that she and her husband had organized their own pro-Romney volunteer effort.

I met Nancy at the convention a few hours ago. I found her to be delightful, sincere and very very pumped about Mitt. And that was before the straw poll results were announced.
