GOP convention may not happen
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With Hurricane Gustav scheduled to hit the Gulf Coast tomorrow, the McCain campaign and GOP officials are being forced to scramble. Here’s how the Washington Post is reporting it:
“(McCain campaign manager Rick) Davis told reporters here that the seven-hour program scheduled for Monday night would be pared down to a bare-bones afternoon session of roughly two hours devoted mainly to meeting the legal requirements involved with convening the party’s nominating convention. He said that there would be no partisan speeches and that officials would assess what to do with the rest of the convention once it became clear the magnitude of the storm damage. He said that they would seek to make sure that “nothing new distracts from the” response efforts in the Gulf.”
