COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - More than 500 people are heading from Ohio to the Republican National Convention.
GOP state Chairman Bob Bennett says the big delegation is an indication of the excitement state party members feel about the Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan ticket and the presidential election campaign. Ohio sent some 300 people to the 2008 convention.
The group going to Tampa, Fla., for the convention beginning Monday includes delegates, alternates, friends and guests.
Romney and Ryan will campaign in central Ohio on Saturday ahead of the convention. Ohio again looms this year as a critical swing state in the presidential race.
