what do they do?

they can hold the convention, and risk looking bad if the hurricane hits a major city like New Orleans

they delay the convention, and risk deferrment or lessening of the bounce that was possible

they cancel the convention, no one's going to be watching anyway.

There is no good option for them. I find it interesting that this story didn't come out until after Obama's speech.

This could be the final nail in McCain's coffin.

what I find hilarious is that History could look back on McCain's loss and blame it on the weather!

seiously, I hope and pray this storm will just fizzle out..like the McCain campaign.

will they find enough extras to fill the Moose Lodge they're having their convention in and pretend to cheer for McCain's speech. ;)

...how about doing the right thing and postposing, if necessary, continuing if not?

Makes sense to me.

Have you seen the list of speakers? Now that's a serious crisis.

N AWLINS is a chocolate city send em brownies should be look out and if your that dumb to stand in front of mother nature then get her rath. You can't stop progress sonething Dems should understand. No

Smigirly shows asshat

Those things are crazy to pull off, logistically. I can't see them postponing it.

If Gustav doesn't make landfal in NO, then it might work out for them, but if it does hit NO, they are done.

They are experts at exploiting tragedy, I think they'll have the convention and cut to shots of Bush fighting the storm with no shirt on, "Lieutenant Dan" style.

When Sean Penn was wading through toxic water to rescue people and pets, he was branded a Hollywood liberal elitist...

while licking Jay Leno's chin. They don't even feign the APPEARANCE of consistency of logic at this point.

You wouldn't be suggesting that cons have two sets of standards, would you?

May I point out the irony? A few weeks ago, there was a preache praying that Obama would be rained out tonight. Did God answer the GOP?

Everything they say or do reflects this.
