Hurricane Isaac has relented to allow the first real night of the Republican National Convention to begin. The theme for tonight is "We Built It" -- a play on President Obama's comment in July, "If you've got a business -- you didn?t build that." New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will give the keynote speech, attacking Obama for his economic record. Ann Romney will give a speech to build Mitt Romney up. Other speakers will include House Speaker John Boehner, RNC chair Reince Priebus, New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, Texas Senate candidate Ted Cruz, former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis (as in both a former congressman and a former Democrat), and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. We'll be liveblogging the events.

7:04p.m.: Obama was talking about infrastructure, not businesses, when he said "you didn't build that," but that will not ruin Republicans' fun. Neither will the fact that?Sher Valenzuela, a small business owner and candidate for?lieutenant?governor of Delaware who will be speaking tonight, got $17 million in federal loans for her company.
