2:10 p.m. Announcement of Recess

This is a huge mistake. Monday's weather will be fine in Tampa, just rain, and Issac will still be over the Gulf. Romney needs to re-fill Monday's schedule.

9:40 - Bush 41, 43 Film

That should NOT be in prime time

8:00 p.m. Remarks by Governor former Jeb Bush (FL)

This should be cancelled, using ":time constraints" as the excuse. Jeb is a disgrace.

That’s unfortunate that Trump won’t be there. I see a lot of RINOs and establishment types that will probably say what a nice guy Hussein is instead of undressing him for the marxist he is.

Good job. They beat the media at it’s own game and got Ann Romney on prime-time TV.

Yep, Trump won’t be there.

If this convention fails to expose Obama for who he is and what another 4 years means, we deserve to lose in November. If I was advising them, I’d simply read off every single lie he’s told from the campaign all the way to last week.

Good, I won’t have to skip my diuretics.

Besides Saintorum, Huckabeee, Bush and Rice, I see a couple more invitees listed that will give me plenty of time for my bathroom breaks.

“Remarks by Governor Bob McDonnell (VA), accompanied by Bev Gray “
Bev Gray: a NOVA business owner, ‘Exhibit Edge Inc.’.

Should have some juicy things to say in prime time about small business, Va., women, and Obama.

Networks will have to cut away for something LOL!

The Donald told the Friends this morning that he still has his surprise and is just waiting for the word on when it can be revealed.

THAT is probably the greatest shame, she should have been there.

Here is the guy that’s going to sing the national anthem.

He has a interesting rage of things he can do with his music.

One my all time favorites begins at about 8:03.......

I was wondering about that. He’s been tweeting about the ‘surprise’ for weeks. It was originally scheduled for tomorrow.
