This Sunday: A special edition of Meet the Press, live from Tampa for the kickoff of the Republican National Convention. As storm clouds form off the coast of Florida, Republicans are trying to recover from their own firestorm this week. How will Mitt Romney introduce himself to America? Can he create enough momentum to beat President Obama and carry the election? We'll ask the former Governor of the state, Republican heavy-hitter Jeb Bush. Plus, what about his own political future?

Then: Will this be the GOP's opportunity to turn the conversation away from controversial social issues to the state of the economy? What's the outlook for the party? We'll ask 2008 Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).

Also Sunday: Has the recent debate over hot-button issues for women done lasting harm to the Republican Party and to their chances in the fall? What is the state of the race as the Republicans prepare for their national showcase? Joining us: DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Republican Governor of Arizona Jan Brewer, Republican strategist Mike Murphy, and NBC News political director and chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd.
