Arrival in Tampa for the 2012 Republican Convention

Vanessa Green, Gloria Tow, Kathy Statham, Judy Bailey, Rachel Little and Mary Adamski arrived safely in Tampa this afternoon.  The weather is beautiful so far.  We are expecting to have some ripple effects from Hurricane Issac.  The RNC has canceled most events for Monday's opening day.  Most of the RNC events have been moved to Tuesday.  The big welcome event/concert is still on schedule; as well as, all GA GOP events.

We have talked with many of the locals today and we were delighted that they all are rooting for Mitt Romney and the Republicans. We met a really interesting couple at dinner.  They were in their mid-eighties and have been married 66 years.  They can't wait to vote for Romney and move the this country in another direction.

Vanessa, Gloria, Kathy and Judy are spending this night at SpringHill Suites.  We were greeted in the lobby by a large number of  police officers from around the state of Florida.  They have been planning and training for this event since last January.  We feel very safe and secure.

Please look on look on the Dacula Patch web page for Vanessa Green's blog on all of today's events.

Look for more tomorrow.
