| Dear EmailNation Subscriber, The Republican National Convention officially gets underway today, and The Nation is on the scene. George Zornick reports that a collection of transportation companies threw a party for Congressional leaders, using a trick to avoid breaking ethics rules. Ben Adler exposes the tokenism of the RNC speaker schedule. Contrasting father and son, John Nichols argues that Mitt Romney defers to the conservative extremism that George Romney battled as a matter of principle. Plus--a video report from a minimum wage protest at Bain Capital-owned Bloomin' Brands coporate HQ in Tampa from Francis Reynolds.
Stay tuned for the latest reporting and analysis from inside the convention hall--as well as a nightly illustrated RNC live blog from cartoonist Steve Brodner--all week at TheNation.com. All best,
Peter Rothberg, The Nation |
