Illinois’s Republican delegation is using today’s storm delay at the party’s national convention in Tampa to get better acquainted and get ready for a tighter convention schedule starting Tuesday.
Members of the delegation continued to hold scheduled events on Sunday, but Monday’s activities were called off out of concern for the effects of Tropical Storm Isaac.
Members of the delegation, including some of the GOP’s leading contenders for governor in 2014, say they will keep busy on Monday away from the convention hall and will be able to jump right into the full slate of speeches and activities on Tuesday.
