We jump straight to the convention floor in Tampa, FL to talk about the state of the Republican Party ahead of their 2012 national convention. If the event isn’t overshadowed by bad weather, Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan will accept the official party nomination and rally the GOP cause in the run-up to November.
The Massachusetts delegation is in attendance, and Sen. Scott Brown is scheduled to make an appearance as well. We hear how the event is shaping up, and what’s to come over the next three months.
