personally, I think alot of people are waiting for Ryan's and Romney's acceptance speeches hoping that they'll be able to get more information about where these two stand.

I can see the possibility that the Convention may harm him more than it does him any good. If he can't find a way to bring Ron Paul on board, for instance, he will lose votes in the fall. There is also the Tea Party to be appeased, and he gains nothing with the all important independent voters when he tries to do that. So this Convention may not do him any good at all. Oh, and there is always the possibility of both a Hurricane and violency disrupting the Convention too. Shit, everything could go wrong and George Bush and Cheney might show up - yeah, right.
