The NewsHour tagged along with Keenan Steiner and Liz Bartolomeo of the Sunlight Foundation -- a non-profit that advocates for government transparency which is tracking fundraising endeavors at both the GOP and Democratic conventions. The parties included appearances by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Tagg Romney, Mitt Romney's oldest son. Two trapeze artists performed overhead at the Honey Pot, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender bar in Tampa's Ybor City.
