It's still to early to say, Michael. Based on anecdotal evidence I gathered this evening (and which I'll blog about soon), at least some of the delegates are feeling especially surly. But I'll keep an eye on this over the next few days.

Only part of the convention is about the official events on the convention center floor.

Much of it is supposedly in the numerous side events, particularly those sponsored by various corporations, lobbyists, and special interest groups.

Since most of the Republican delegates are still presumably physically in town -- and in need of something to do -- do you anticipate those side events will be going forward and well-attended?

It would be interesting to know how "business-as-usual" might be continuing anyway despite the cancellation of the main "public" event.
