If Isaac hit tampa during the convention....

do you think the GOP will beg the federal government to save them? or will they rely on charity like the insist other do.

1. They're all watching the Weather Channel right now.

They're not going to take any chances on this. (I'd be VERY HAPPY to be wrong, though.)

5. maybe if the got rush limbaugh and sean hannity and a few others

to start blowing all their hot air at the same time they could keep it away

[WI_DEM]

2. Oh they could switch the convention to a banquet room of one of Mitt's mansions.

3. Who will Tampa evacuate first?

Their tax paying residents or the conventioners?

[Ian David]

4. If they try to evacuate, I wouldn't let them leave. n/t

[klook]

13. They can sit on the roof with home-made signs until somebody takes pity on them. (n/t)

6. it will hurt any bounce the repukes are expecting from their convention /nt

[Frustratedlady]

7. I thought I read that Tampa officials told them they were on their own if it hit...

that they had enough to do without rescuing convention attendees.

They have been warned. It was dumb to schedule the convention in Florida at that time of the year. It shouldn't be any surprise that a (SHOCK) hurricane might hit.

They have plenty of money. They can fly anyplace to hold the darned convention.

8. It won't hit. Pat Robertson will pray it away.

It's one of his superpowers.

9. Didn't a hurricane disrupt the RNC in 2008?

Pssssst, baggers: perhaps God's trying to tell you that you are all wet & filled with hot wind.

[madinmaryland]

10. Hurricane Sarah!!

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Gustav

But they were a thousand miles away in Minnesota at the time.

[malaise]

12. Will they claim that they built it

Or will they 'stand their ground'?
