Republicans put off the a lot of their first-day convention activities until Tuesday to let Hurricane Isaac blow through a little bit. But that hasn't stopped a lot of the activity. Here's a live and curated look at what's going on in Tampa.
Make sure to tune in to ABC's live stream of the convention coming to order at 2 p.m. ET and then an hour of live stream at 7 p.m. ET.
How Many Islands? - 11:14 a.m. ET -
There are actually 15 Northern Mariana Islands, but most of the 53,000 population is on Saipan. Northern Mariana Islands Census info is here. Mitt Romney won their 2012 caucuses, which were held March 10th with 848 people taking part. Mitt Romney won with support of more than 80 percent caucusers. They've got 9 delegates at the convention.
Setting the Scene - 11 a.m. ET - For starters and to set the scene, here's a look at where American registered voters view the two candidates heading into the Republican National Convention.
From an ABC News pollster Gary Langer's write-up of the ABC News / Washington Post poll out today, it's a dead heat. So nothing has changed recently.
Key Nuggets:
Obama has 46 percent support, Romney has 47 percent.
50 percent disapprove of Obama's performance. 56 Disapprove of him on the economy. 50 percent trust Romney to handle the economy.
But, as Langer points out, 62 percent of registered voters say Obama favors the middle class. 58 percent say Romney favors the wealthy.
