REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION DAY 2 - GETTING UNDERWAY IN EARNEST............

In just over four and a half hours the 2012 Republican National Convention will be reconvened Representative John Boehner of Ohio, the Speaker of the House; will become the Permanent Chairman,  of the proceedings,and the essential work of the gathering will get underway.  At 7 p.m. Eastern Time the Convention will hear the two major speeches to be delivered tonight, the Keynote Address from Governor Chris Christie, of New Jersey; and the wife of the presumptive presidential nominee, Ann Romney.  Each of them has a particular mission to accomplish tonight in making the case to the American public for the Romney-Ryan election campaign and the Republicans.  Governor Christie known for his straightforward, often brash, and tumultuous speaking style needs to make a strong case for why the leadership of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan is imperative and using his own governorship and those of other Republican governors to underscore the potential for effective leadership of the United States a Romney-Ryan Republican controlled Government, replacing the Obama-Biden Administration and the Democrats will provide our nation.  Ann Romney, as wife and mother is expected to present a greater look at her husband and family, humanizing and casting her husband Mitt in a more likeable light as a person of family and faith, in regards to raising their 5 sons, interacting with their 18 grandchildren, and in the love, caring, and affirmative support, he has provided her from the outset of her Multiple Sclerosis in 1998, and throughout their 43 year marriage.  The uncertainty of what will actually be happening with Tropical Storm Issac may have an affect of lessening the harshness Governor Christie can convey in delivering his message, as Americans including some Republicans outside the Convention hall, as well as Democrats and Independents, nationwide - will be more likely to take umbrage to overly partisan attack on the poltical opposition if Issac is pounding New Orleans, on the eve of the 7th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.  First tonight however, the Republicans will formally nominate Mitt Romney as their 2012 candidate for President of the United States............Fr.  Troy
