Republicans are weighing a delayed start to the Tampa convention due to Tropical Storm Isaac, GOP sources said Saturday.
No final decision has been made but anxiety is running high as the storm churns northward.
Officials are currently planning to make the call one way or the other Sunday morning, according to a source on the ground in Tampa.
A delayed start could involve a full cancellation of Monday's events and a rescheduling of speeches across the four planned days of the convention.

Why, he had his black helicopters fly out and bombard the storm with lasers, to strengthen the storm and steer it right at Tampa just to fuck with the GOP!!!

Sounds like they are listening to heathen scientists and not putting their trust in the Lord.
