It seems like they think of everything here in Tampa. No evidence of this area being used yet.

It looks like they change the slogans every day. Today it’s, We Built It, though no one was sure what “It” is. 

Every convention around the big platforms where the tv cameras and photographers stand, workers install some sort of mirrored surface. Here I am on the convention floor reflected in the mirror. 

From 2 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. today was an endless series of speeches and procedural items. They did a ‘roll call’ and each state pledged their delegates. Of course Romney won. Some state representatives that announced their votes reluctantly said the total for Ron Paul, who drew huge attention early in the day as he walked across the convention floor. His support seems strong among the small numbers of his delegates. There is a brief break now at 7 p.m. before the evening program starts.
