Because of the potential impact of Tropical Storm Isaac on the upcoming four-day Republican National Convention,Gov. Rick Scott and soon-to-be Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney have linked up in earnest.

Scott has also been on the phone with state and federal storm officials, along with organizers for the Republican National Convention.

But as of Thursday afternoon, there were no plans to make any changes to the mega-national event.

Whittaker Chambers said that "the great failing of American conservatives is they do not retrieve their wounded."

Gov. Rick Scotts six foreign trade missions since taking office last year, including the Enterprise Florida junket to London earlier this summer, may have helped score Florida some good overseas ink.

fDi Intelligence magazine, a division of The Financial Times Ltd., praised Scott for his drive to improve the business culture in the Sunshine State.

After discussing Tropical Storm Isaac with state storm leaders and convention hosts, Gov. Rick Scott said late Thursday morning that there are no plans to cancel the Republican National Convention.

Were so many days out, we have a plan in case there is a hurricane, Scott told the media while at Floridas Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee just before noon on Thursday.

Were hoping it continues to go west and dissipates.

U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, R-Fort Myers, and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Miami, are on the stage for the final night of the Republican National Convention at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.

Mack, who is challenging longtime U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Orlando, for the U.S. Senate, gives the night's first remarks, shortly after the national anthem and invocation.

Rubio gets a more key spot on the national stage, introducing Mitt Romney as soon as the former Massachusetts governor is nominated for president.

At a time when the nation's eyes will be on the Sunshine State for the Republican National Convention, state leaders and National Hurricane Center Officials are tracking the potential paths of Tropical Storm Isaac.

The system is making its way toward the Florida Keys, Tampa and the Panhandle at a rate that could put it in the Gulf of Mexico near Tampa at 2 a.m. Tuesday.

Gov. Rick Scott said Florida, which has a long history of dealing with hurricanes and tropical storms, is going to be prepared for Isaac.

Headed by Gov. Rick Scott and first lady Ann Scott, the Republican Party of Florida at long last has released to the public its list of delegates for the national convention next week in Tampa.

Other big names on the list include, Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll, House Speaker Dean Cannon, R-Winter Park, House Speaker-designate Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, U.S. Rep. David Rivera, R-Miami, and U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Miami.
