interesting answer. now, jon and marla, one thing, it's tradition for one party to stay silent while the other party is having its convention, a courtesy that dates back. president obama has no public appearances on the calendar today because of the republican national convention. most americans wouldn't think of going on the site. but maybe a gaffe. >> did it make your business and tech report. >> scott mcgrew's attention. coming up, tonight a big night for mr. mitt romney a. preview of what's happening at the convention. we'll have that live in a report from tampa.
