Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant, Monday

Greetings from Minneapolis, where National Journal is launching the first in a series of political panels from the Republican National Convention. Today's event, moderated by Atlantic Media Company political director Ron Brownstein, features:

Charlie Bass, former NH congressman now affiliated with the Republican Main Street Partnership, Chuck Donovan of the Family Research Council, David Keene of the American Conservative Union and William Miller Jr., of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, the ballgame here has changed quite a bit. Expect talk of the impact of a modified convention, the Sarah Palin pick and more.

Here we go.
