We got a brief update today from Don Genhart of Palm Desert, who is one of three Coachella Valley residents serving as delegates at the GOP convention.

Genhart said they’re preparing for another busy day today, as Rep. Paul Ryan will accept the nomination for vice president.

Despite the long schedule and some bus drama, Genhart seemed energized by what he’s hearing.

“Ann Romney’s talk and Governor Chris Christie’s talk were most
well received last night,” he wrote in an email.

“They, along with several governors and congressional representatives, spoke throughout the day with inspiring,passionate talks about Mitt Romney.”

Monday’s convention schedule was postponed because of weather related concerns. Republican leaders have updated the official convention website to encourage donations that help the Gulf Coast recover from Hurricane Isaac.
