Convention update: 10:30 a.m.
By Jessica Alaimo, PolitickerME.com ReporterThe convention has just reconvened after the two districts split up to elect delegates.
After opening proceedings U.S. Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe will speak soon, and then the delegates will elect the at-large national delegates. At lunchtime they will take up the platform – there are about 25 amendments to take up.
A Ron Paul video will also be shown.
Fox News contributor Cal Thomas will be speaking later.
PolitickerME.com is a bit behind with video from yesterday, but hopes to have footage of all the speeches up by the end of the day.
