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.

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.

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.
