TAMPA, Fla. - Undaunted by Mother Nature, Republicans are set to descend on Florida as Mitt Romney's team works to cram four days of events into three after the threat of Tropical Storm Isaac forced the soon-to-be nominee to cut short his national convention.
Officials say they hope to begin laying out a revised schedule on Sunday.
As aides in Tampa scramble, Romney is taking a rare day off the campaign trail at his lakeside vacation home in New Hampshire. He's receiving updates on the storm and making final preparations for the Thursday speech with which he will accept his party's presidential nomination.
The GOP announced late Saturday that while the convention would officially be gaveled into session on Monday as scheduled, events would be cancelled until Tuesday.
