1. I guess they better make up their minds pretty soon....

:eyes:

[Beaverhausen]

2. more likely they will cancel due to having nothing to say

and just appointing the worst vp nominee in history.

YMMV

[goodgd_yall]

11. Lol! n/t

[truthN08]

3. That's not why

He's thinking of cancelling because of low attendance,no enthuisiam and time to coach his unprepared running mate.

9. Yep. What a great excuse not to hold an embarrassing convention!

Frankly, I'd be very happy to be spared the news from the convention. I'm not watching convention coverage but since I will be watching the news from time to time I would be spared all the MSM talking heads and nonstop video loop of McCain being carried out of 'Nam on a stretcher.

4. Where the hell is Pat Robertson when they reallt y need him?

8. THIS IS THE BEST PART!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ABC News' Karen Travers reports: In an interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace that will air Sunday morning, Sen. John McCain indicated that the GOP convention could be suspended because of Hurricane Gustav.

"It wouldn't be appropriate to have a festive occasion while a near tragedy or a terrible challenge is presented in the form of a natural disaster," McCain told Wallace.

14. As opposed to a manmade one like say......Iraq?

[skooooo]

16. How can you win an election without having a convention???!

I think they've given up.

5. I'm sure they have insurance

but I doubt the Insurance Company's would consider this a valid claim.

6. That won't be too much of a problem. I'm sure most RNC delegates can afford the extra tickets

But if he has to move the convention to another venue for this, they just lost their long shot at winning Minnesota. Hotel & restaurant owners will be pissed off.

7. The prayers must not be praying hard enough.

10. What's the "O" hurricane called this year?

[butterfly77]

12. any excuse...

[Princess Turandot]

13. On CNN earlier (for what it's worth)..

a reporter said that 'someone inside the campaign' had told her that they were considering turning it into a 'service' event aka a telethon. What was Palin's pageant talent act?

[BlueIdaho]

23. Yeah - cuz America just can't get enough Telethons to watch - Jerry Lewis is gonna be so PISSED!

[Vinca]

15. Well, I suppose a huge hurricane heading to NO makes him want to

fly home and eat cake.

[CJCRANE]

17. No need for Bush to cancel his appearance

at the convention. He can eat cake and play guitar...

then turn up in the disaster zone nearly a week later, just like he did last time.

18. Will the male hookers demand their up-front money back?

Could get expensive for the GOP.

[ZombieHorde]

19. Remember when they were praying for rain during the DNC?

Bwahahaha!

20. He had a party during the last time NOLA got hit

Why the change now?

[Bobbie Jo]

21. Buying time...

to school their Not Ready for Prime Time "VP."

[Phx_Dem]

22. If they cancel, it will be due to lack of interest.

But they can blame Gustav. We all know Republicans don't give a shit about New Orleaneans in harms way of a Hurricane!

[tinrobot]

24. Gustav is the excuse

The real reason is there's no way they can top this:
