Day Two: The Republicans hope to keep up their momentum after former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Senator John McCain kicked off the convention Monday night. Which heavy hitters are on tap for Tuesday night? We’ll get the lowdown from FOX News’ James Rosen.

Plus, unlike the Democratic National Convention, the GOP took the gloves off on the first night. Did they score points? We’ll ask FOX News political analysts Rich Lowry, editor of the National Review, and Ellis Henican, columnist for Newsday.

And, both in theme and location, the Republican National Convention is focusing on the events of Sept. 11. But how do the people who lost loved ones that day feel about that? We'll ask two of them.

Future Tense: As we did with the Democrats, “DaySide” is speaking to some of the up and comers of the Republican Party. So, meet Margaret Abernathy, one of the youngest delegates attending the RNC.

Country in the City: The Gatlin Brothers are bringing a little country — and a whole lot of Republican spirit — to New York City.

War Crime Lawyer: Is Curtis Doebbler defending the indefensible? The lone American on Saddam Hussein’s defense team joins us live.

Dogged by Evidence: Incriminating evidence against Scott Peterson (search) as search dogs apparently place Laci at the marina where Scott said he went fishing alone before he reported her missing. We’ll get the legal lowdown from Steve Clark, former Santa Clara deputy district attorney, and Drew Findling, criminal defense attorney.

Work It, Junior: Talk about tough love! A new DVD helps defend against childhood obesity, by putting your 6-week-old baby through a workout. Is it ever too early to start kids off on the right track? We’ll ask Jim Browne, athletic trainer and former NFL fullback, and Dr. Martin Levin, pediatrician in New Orleans.

Those stories and the latest editions of Only on Fox and Stupid Criminals on today's edition of "DaySide with Linda Vester."
