This convention has been planned for months on end...the idea of delaying it is not feasible. I can understand why McC would WANT to delay it..but it won't happen, hurricane in the gulf or not.
they are running scared, so scared that i almost feel sorry for them. may i take this moment to thank every supporter of liberty and justice!! our time is right around the corner- in a few days, there will be a revolution and will be happy and excited to nominate our man from the floor!!
"national crisis", the notion that he would have to compete with a hurricane for TV time. What a hoot.

has it coming into the gulf more slowly than originally predicted. It is no longer directed at New Orleans, but at Texas, and is not expected until late Tuesday night. Also it is now predicted to be a cat. 2 rather than 3. I don't think it will delay the Republican Convention. Hopefully it will not hit Dr. Paul's district either, and not even be a cat. 2.
Don't know if I believe the forecast. If it hits Galveston, it'll probably get up to a Category 3 or better. The western gulf is very warm there this time of year.

Should (If Mccain goes for photo ops in La. if storm hits) Go and put on our boots and really do something to help clean up after he does his posing and nothing else. Besides, why would he get to decide to cancel? He is'nt the definate nominee yet. Who is this guy. He's already acting like he is the president with the Russia/Georgia thing. Dam he's dangerous. brrrr. Do'nt kill me but he almost makes Obama look good. Only in the lesser of 2 horrible evils way. I feel sick. Is it me or is a lot of s*** hitting the fan at once? Possible Hurricane, Police state, possible ww3,no chance of anyone but Obomanation or Mcinsane being president, Sorry I'm being a bummer. I'll feel better when I Iand in Minnesote and see all of you folks :)
Rescheduling the GOP Convention would turn into a bigger fiasco than the Nevada GOP's attempt, or non attempt, to hold a delayed convention. The delegates would not be able to schedule more vacation time from work on short notice, the hotels are probably substantially already booked with non-delegates, etc... This just isn't going to happen.
Having delegates send in their ballots does not make for good tv.
Could be just a PR stunt to show America the RNC really cares. If they did suspend it, I doubt they would reschedule it, they'de probably just announce McCain as the chosen one and move on.

No mention of the possible GOP delay on the C4L site that I could see. I know some people with tickets to fly and hotel reservations from south Texas. They will be really stressed economically by this if it happens.
The Republicans are afraid of being seen as partying while New Orleans is being destroyed.
What about the C4L events? Many of them have less to spend than the delegates to the GOP. Ron Paul cannot reschedule. Will the press still be there? Will they all run off to La? Will some of the Republicans who already have tickets and reservations decide to come to the Ralley for the Republic instead? It's only one day, but if they're there already ...
Do you think the airlines and hotels will negotiate a change to help out the delegates to the GOP? It would be most unusual to do that wholesale.
If they delay it by more than a day, the Paul events will be deprived of so much press, publicity, and excitement. The banners in the Mall of America will play to ordinary shoppers. Bummer.
The Ad ran for two days, Aug26-27th, approximately, and was not showing Thursday the 28th. The Ad was pulled, because the MOA does not allow political ads on the mall directories. The AD did run for a couple days and was shown on the 64 large flat TV screens at the 16 plus mall directories and two 10x20 foot movie screens on the east first floor. A sales lady at Best Buy said, "That is the guy who was against the war from the beginning", with a smile. I was wearing my Ron Paul cap. It just so happens that a four screen mall directory is just outside the Best Buy front door. So some good was done. Hope to see you early birds at Jager this Friday and Saturday, and of course, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
1) The great media coverage he could gain by devestating photo ops in the ruins of Louisana, and his immediate action and bla bla bla. There he will be in his rain suit, rubber boots and all, "My Friends Louisana" we will survive this, we will rebuild, better, stronger and bla, bla , bla.
2) To root out those delegates who can't afford to reschedule. An economic genocide of a greater level. Face it, you better have a dollar tree to play this game to start with. Rescheduling will weed out even more and those with the dollars are behind McSick.
But if that happens, maybe there will be a lot of republicans who find themself in MN with some time on their hands. -- Take it to the streets. Join the STREET TEAMS!
was how do you change all of this. Really. McCain and his buddies may want to look like nice guys but how many people are involved that can just change everything last minute? That is so unrealistic. People in New Orleans shouldn't have taken a hint and gotten completely outa there when Katrina hit. I just don't know. I never would have gone back there after that.
So, do you think they really will do this? How could they? I just can't think that they can.

Can't have the press distracted by other news, now, can we?
Not to mention, the DNC provided "drama" with Hilary, et. al., but McCain has been suffering for a lack of competion. It's one of the reasons Barr and Dr. Paul get more coverage, now: the press need something to try and make McCain's campaign interesting.
How convenient for him.
Actually, our highest delegate counts are not in these gulf states. Let LA stay home, let Mississippi stay home. Let Alabama and FL stay home. From what I understand we don't have many delegates in these states.
this would be good
because all the journalist out there would have to cover _something._ They would likely end up at the Rally for the Republic.
and what about delegates who have already got tickets
and lodging? Will the Rally for the republic also be rescheduled?

I'm sure
the reason they might have to cancel is because they are going to go down there to help evacuate the area and pass out water. lol
yes
they are running scared, so scared that i almost feel sorry for them. may i take this moment to thank every supporter of liberty and justice!! our time is right around the corner- in a few days, there will be a revolution and will be happy and excited to nominate our man from the floor!!

Running scared???
Is the RNC scared of the Paul Convention? Enough so to wait a few days for their convention?
Has Dr. Paul struck a nerve???

They are probably hoping that the CFL continues while the RNC is rescheduled. They don't want to be upstaged and it looks like they are going to be.
That would be sweet!
Then I could find a better hotel room closer to the Rally!

Ha!
that's funny!
Only 2 possible reasons for this
1) The great media coverage he could gain by devestating photo ops in the ruins of Louisana, and his immediate action and bla bla bla. There he will be in his rain suit, rubber boots and all, "My Friends Louisana" we will survive this, we will rebuild, better, stronger and bla, bla , bla.

The turning point for Bush, when he became genuinely unpopular, was Hurricane Katrina. I bet they're scared out of their wits of another repeat.
