2012 Republican National Convention

The 2012 Republican National Convention was held by the U.S. Republican Party during which delegates officially nominated former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and U.S. Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin for president and vice president for the 2012 election.

Important members of the party gave speeches and talked about the convention theme, "A Better Future."[1]

The convention was held during the week of August 27, 2012, in Tampa, Florida[2] at the Tampa Bay Times Forum (now Amalie Arena).

Hurricane Isaac caused the convention to start later than usual.[3]
