More Mitt Dilemma

Mr. Romney will be elevated as the party’s standard bearer on Monday – not Wednesday as previously expected – to keep the official business of the roll call delegate vote from competing with broader themes of introducing Mr. Romney.

[...]

The campaign had hoped that the television networks would cover the convention on Monday because Ann Romney is delivering her marquee speech that night, but so far the networks have declined.

[...]

Several Republican officials said scheduling the roll call on Monday allowed Mr. Romney to avoid drawing attention to two potential problems: from [Ron] Paul’s supporters and the winds and rain of [Tropical Storm] Isaac. By the time Mr. Romney arrives here in Tampa, aides hope both challenges will have blown over.
