Watch live video here and join the conversation as we live blog the 2012 GOP convention. 7:11 PM PT: Ann Romney has taken the stage, wearing a blindingly red dress. Crowd is as loud as it's been all night, save for Scott Walker.
7:12 PM PT: "The Hurricane has hit landfall," Ann Romney says, saying a prayer for them. "We should be grateful for this great country ... and the first responders."
7:13 PM PT: There's a bunch of pictures of Mitt Romney behind Ann. None of them feature him cutting anybody's hair, oddly.
7:13 PM PT: Ack: "Tonight, I want to talk to you about love."
7:14 PM PT:
#BREAKING: Hurricane #Isaac makes landfall in southeast Louisiana, expected to reach New Orleans around midnight http://t.co/...— @NBCNewYork via bitly
7:14 PM PT: This is not good:
NHC confirms #Isaac is back over water again. Radar indicates little movement in the past hour.— @twc_hurricane via HootSuite
7:16 PM PT: "I love you women," Ann Romney says. And:
Ann Romney just referred to "working moms" but my understanding is that that phrase is redundant, even an insult!— @chrislhayes via web
7:17 PM PT: This is a pep rally for how great it is to be a mother. "There would not be an America without you," she says, to moms. But if you don't vote for Mitt, then go plug yourself.
7:19 PM PT: I'll say this: Ann Romney's delivery is very strong. I'm sure people who already liked her will love this speech. And I'm also confident that her husband's speech won't measure up.
7:21 PM PT: "We got married and moved into a basement apartment together ... we ate a lot of pasta and tuna fish." A real tale of hardship!
7:22 PM PT: "Well that was 42 years ago and we survived ... we now have 5 sons." And a quarter billion more dollars!
7:23 PM PT (Kaili Joy Gray): New thread here.
