Republicans finally get down to business in Tampa.<br/> <br />After Hurricane Isaac delayed Republican convention plans -- New Jersey Governor Chris Christie makes sure everything is in working order ahead of his keynote speech Tuesday night.<br/> <br />Presidential candidate Mitt Romney arrived in Tampa Tuesday seeking to put the shortened convention back on track and prevent his message from being drowned out by a Hurricane Isaac bearing down on the U.S. Gulf Coast.<br/> <br />Within the convention Hall Republicans star power was on display with actor Jon Voight making his pitch for Romney.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTOR JON VOIGHT, SAYING:<br/> <br />"Well, it's important that anyone is here for Mitt Romney because he's a fellow who can help turn this thing around. We're in a lot of trouble economically, politically, militarily, and somebody's got to right the ship and bring us back to who we are, and America has been a force in the world that has been a force for good, and we've been sitting on the sidelines."<br/> <br />Republicans face a stiff challenge: help Romney make a memorable argument to voters to replace President Barack Obama while showing sensitivity to Gulf Coast residents at risk from the storm.
