MSNBC runner Rachel Simon sends us a few photos from Tampa, where the RNC prepares for their convention this week and MSNBC prepares for convention coverage - and the impending storm.
Keep an eye right here on Maddowblog for the rest of the week to catch more scenes from Tampa.
(IMAGE above: Spotted in a nearby parking lot, a Ron Paul supporter shares his creativity and support for Paul. The owner told Rachel that he made it himself!)

Is the hurricane God's commentary on their rape stance?
That hurrican hitting during thier convention proofs God is a woman. (Thank you Mr. Letterman).
Unfortunately, it is only going to be a glancing blow!!!
Should be a smack up-side the head.
But what does it mean if it takes out New Orleans again?
Like that top photo a lot! Neat angle.
No way!!! He made that HIMSELF?! Whoa! (Where is a rolling-eye emoticon when you need it?)

He might have built it himself. But it looks like it's on a trailer pulled by some sort of vehicle - so without the roads that we all built it would still be in his garage.
@maphi for the win.
Amen for gov't roads.
CNN is presenting a Special tonight, "Romney: Secrets Revealed." Must be a
marathon.
Elephants, balloons and clowns. Look ma, the circus is in town!
Saw a commercial for 2016 (a la D'Snooza?) on the Sea Princess today.. It didn't work for Moore (Fahrenheit 9/11), I assume it will work for the clown car. If I were a Floridian I would pretend to like Ron Paul too, long enough to bring several thousands of pies into the mentally retarded mosh pit
Their American flag is backward.
Actual no - the flag is hung correctly:
When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left.
Scheduling a convention on the Gulf during hurricane season...
Yes, these are the people who should be in charge.
Proof that they can learn from their scheduling mistake 4 years ago. Oh, wait...
The Ron Paul guy should have put a window. So we could view the stiff.
I have an idea that I know will heal a lot of the shisms that now affect the country. No more taxes for anybody! To control inflation you would have to have a couple laws,,, the rich can only spend their money on themselves and on enterprises that creat more than net-zero jobs. The rich will have won the game and will also be the sink that takes money out of circulation, yes, they can have all the houses they want with basements full of hundred dollar bills.
Since all countries can do this, the value of money will have stong international incentives to keep a currency strong/ on par with other countries. Business and farming will probably decentralize (making shoes in america will be a better idea) which is a good thing as that is a more survivable model.
Governments can create value ideas and then "print" money; double the teachers, double the police, wetlands, space stuff, wind energy, recycleing,, whatever we the peeps tell them..
Let's call it Secular Socialism Redux.
medicare,
Occam's tax code: you can spend your money on yourself and on businesses that create more than net-zero jobs.
What I want for myself I want for everybody.
Nationalize natural resources, energy (can you say Enron?), higher education, and healthcare. That's the last little tweak.
I just met a young Paul supporter...And WOW, what a schmuck...Here he is, on the government dollar, going to school and telling me (a 60ish) coal miner, that he doesn't believe SSI should exist. I just wanted to slap the stoopid out of him. Now I understand when someone calls these people Paultards. They are out there somewhere looking for something, I suggested a little LSD, and some sunshine, don't know if it will help, but he went away.
How funny! I saw the van pulling the RON PAUL sign heading down the highway in NE Ohio. I thought for a second that he must be headed down to the convention. Turns out I was right!
