A faith-based protest got heated outside of the Charlotte Convention Center Wednesday morning, when a demonstrator accused America of moving away from God. "The Democratic National Convention has come to the conclusion that they don't need God anymore," said Reverand Flip Benham, bellowing into the megaphone at the Operation Save America demonstration. Other protesters holding signs that condemn abortion, homosexuality and other Biblical sins supported Benham, the director of Operation Save America.

The final day of the convention was like nothing I have ever witnessed before. The floor and stands of the Tampa Time Forum were filled with state delegates, politicians, and many guests of the Republican Party. The Republican party went through a long and stressful primary season but finally came together to rally around their candidates for President and Vice President, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
My fieldwork at the RNC rolled on but unfortunately the official convention events were all canceled because of Tropical Storm Isaac.
Jason Puckett and Nicole Chadwick give us an idea of what Elon Local News will be covering at the Democratic National Convention next week.
The swing states will play a critical role in the race to the white house. As of now, Obama leads the CNN projected numbers with 237 electoral votes...Needing 33 more to win...While Romney holds 206 votes needing 64 more take over the White House. States in blue lean Democrat and states in red lean Republican while yellow states could lean with either party. Although North Carolina tends to vote Republican the numbers are shifting in favor of the Democrats.
I'm here at the Tampa Bay Convention Center where all the media are being held. This center is about a block away from the Tampa Bay Times Forum where the convention is set to convene. The whole area is secure.
