GOP heavy hitters galore this morning to mark the start of the convention tomorrow. CBS has Marco Rubio and Haley Barbour, CNN has Scott Walker, NBC has Jeb Bush, and Fox News has the nominee himself. And for the Democrats? Antonio Villaraigosa, Debbie Downer, and that’s pretty much it. I like these odds.
