I had IVN's Republican National Convention Correspondent Tom Brown on the phone just now, and he reports from Tampa that the Pennsylvania delegation took a vote this morning to support the new RNC rules drafted by the RNC rules committee, which contain controversial measures to give the national party and winning presidential campaigns like Gov.

In a status update posted yesterday, Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan uses Facebook to thank his supporters for helping him grow his Facebook Page, which almost has 2 million followers. Using the application Tout, Ryan recored a short video that not only thanked his supporters, but updated them on the campaign and Convention.
