On the eve of the GOP Convention, The Washington Post’s Harold Meyerson dares ask the question:”Where is today’s Teddy Roosevelt?”

The 2012 Republican National Convention will be held from August 27 to August 3o in Tampa Florida.

Tampa was the embarkation point for the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry (The Rough Riders) during the Spanish American War in the Spring of 1898.

The Progressive Party chose not to have  convention this year.
