Any predictions for the convention?
It doesn't look like the center is going to hit Tampa, but it's hard to tell. I imagine that Mitt Romney does not relish the possibility that the convention will be interrupted by a hurricane and then the inevitable response. Which of course would involve the President flying in to declare it a federal disaster. Then again, we probably don't need a hurricane to know that. |
In the grand scheme of things, what does one cancelled event mean?
Haiti is going to be full of corpses, cuba is next, probably a whole lot more trouble for florida. And you think one convention is important? |
I do more than my share to support organizations in Haiti. I still have a right to care about how it will affect American politics. Esp. since US presidents seem to have an even bigger effect on Haiti than hurricanes. |
This weather system is still a tropical storm. As Floridians will tell you, the "cone of uncertainty" will surely change. It's too early to tell where it will go or how strong it will be. I would be surprised if the convention in Tampa went as planned and did not cancel. There's too much uncertainty. I was going to grad school in Tampa when hurricane Charley was approaching. The day before the storm was about to hit, they evacuated students and I drove down south Fl right into it's path. It did a last minute turn, while I watched on TV right for us-and bam! We were in a house missing a roof and tornadoes wrecked the town. I hope they cancel it for safety of attendees.

If the convention is unimportant, then I think that says loads about the GOP. |
There will never be a shortage of politicians who want to talk |
No changes in Haiti after uthe earthquake when $1.3 Bil. was donate, d as usual corupt official stole the bulk |
Day One canceled. God is not pleased with the GOP. |
They tried to nominate the Mittster, God said No. No, No! |
Here's how it's important: I want to hear what the evangelicals decide is the sin of the Republican Party that caused God to send a hurricane their way. |
Did you hear about the corrupt officials in America. After all, fema aid to Katrina victims was squandered |
I suppose . . . |
