Rep. Randy Forbes on first day of Republican convention, addresses questions of whether Isaac is being politicized

The Republican National Convention gets its start tonight under the cloud of tropical storm Isaac. CNN’s John Berman talks to Rep. Randy Forbes (R-VA) on if the media is politicizing the storm.

“Well, we hope that it won’t be politicized,” Forbes says. “It is a storm, we’re concerned about that.”

Rep. Forbes also tells CNN’s Jessica Yellin who he’s looking forward to hearing most from tonight’s three big speakers, Rick Santorum, Ann Romney and Chris Christie.

“Ann Romney’s the one I’m really forward to hearing, because I think the more people see about who Mitt Romney really is, the more people are going to say they want him to be the next president of the United States,” Forbes says.
