Mitt Romney: Isaac

The Convention Dept: Since the weekend, the name Isaac seemed more pressing at the convention as the hurricane finally struck the Louisiana coast late Tuesday night and lumbered toward New Orleans, seven years to the day Hurricane Katrina devastated the city, according to CBC. Romney's was the only name said from the stage during Tuesday evening's state-by-state roll call a convention formality, since he came to Florida with an overwhelming majority of delegates and no doubts he would be named the party s 2012 nominee for the presidency and mitt Romney heard his name said more than anyone else s on stage during the first full day of the storm-shortened Republican National Convention in Tampa. After cancelling the first day of the convention, officials and speakers opened Tuesday with prayers for those affected by the storm or bracing for its impact. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
