Republican National Convention Wraps Up Tonight

Posted: Updated:

Tonight is the grand finale in Tampa. The Republican convention ends as Mitt Romney accepts his party's presidential nomination.

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush also speaks tonight. He says Romney needs to lay out a compelling alternative to the current administration. 

 Mitt Romney will use his speech tonight to try to connect with voters and show he understands their concerns. Workers rebuilt the convention stage overnight to bring him physically closer to the delegates. Wednesday night, Romney watched with his grandchildren, as his running mate accepted the party's vice presidential nomination. Cheering Congressman Paul Ryan used his speech to launch a scathing attack on President Obama's policies - everything from health care reform to economic stimulus.

Senator Marco Rubio is set to introduce Mitt Romney tonight. There's a mystery guest before him in the program - and so far convention planners are not giving any hints.
