I’ve arrived in (what is now, but won’t be for long) Sunny Tampa, Florida for the Republican National Convention, 2012.
I am working the event as part of the digital team, but will be bringing you periodic updates and coverage from the floor. I’ll see if I can catch up with the Maine delegation, such as it is, and bring you as much as I can pull together from all of our friends from Maine who have made the trip.
The real fun begins on Monday, so stay tuned.
