Tropical Storm Isaac doesn’t dampen enthusiasm of delegates at the Republican Convention
Sarah Boesveld |
Republican National Convention-goers had been warned Tropical Storm
Isaac will rain not cats and dogs, but “cows and sheep” on Tampa, Fla.,
this week — or worse. It grounded hundreds of flights Sunday as it
surged up the Gulf of Mexico and caused a delay to the beginning of the
GOP festivities themselves, giving Mitt Romney and his Republican Party
one fewer day to ratchet up enthusiasm that could lead him to a White
House win come November.But despite the delays, the thousands of delegates who arrived over the weekend are excited to cast their ballots for Mr. Romney in the 40th Republican naming convention, officially making him the Republican party’s presidential candidate. They will still filter into the patriotically decorated Tampa Bay Times Forum stadium Monday to be counted. Then, they’ll part until Tuesday afternoon as organizers pause to let Isaac blow past.
