If it goes on the same way as the DNC, tomorrow will be the roll call. Let Ron Paul be, somehow, through a miracle, be elected nominee of the GOP.

Someone posted elsewhere that Cspan reported it would be tonight, the 3rd, at 11PM. It was assumed that is central time. Cannot confirm yet.

No. I remember in 2004 it was done just before Bush came to the stage to accept the nomination.

It is very strange. Also, it appears that National Conventions are just shows. They don't discuss anything.
