The Republican Convention will resume today, GOP officials announced this morning. But the schedule has been tweaked. Headlining the day's events will be Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee, both of whom have prime-time speaking slots. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who was originally tapped to speak tonight, will be moved to another night. The AP reports that President Bush will address the convention remotely from Washington DC. He was supposed to speak last night, but that plan was scrapped in light of Hurricane Gustav. Convention officials say that, while the overall theme will remain focused on those impacted by Gustav, today's goal is to reintroduce John McCain to voters.
