I hope that Team Obama takes the bait and mentions it, so Romney can state "The one thing that will not be postponed will be your exit on Nov. 6th!"

team Romney, please feel free to paraphrase that however you want. ;o)

Jumping the gun.

If the storm slows down and doesn’t hit the area until Tuesday or Wednesday they are forked.

It's not fair ~ this gives Romney the opportunity to reconsider that stupid statement he made about RombamaKKKare being good for us.

Guy really isn't doing the Conservative thing at all ~ strange words for him ~ peace, freedom, defense, individual rights, .......

Maybe it keeps the leftist riff raff off the streets of Tampa with the rains. Maybe the DNC has wonderful weather that brings out all the occutards doing their trashy things.
We shall see what we shall see.

This is a mistake; they are being played and hyped by the weather channel and MSM; and being blackmailed by the MSM “ we will show you to be insensitive” etc etc

I think the news is awesome....the OWS crowd is done for. Police will block all of the roads off and away due to flooding for at least 2 to 3 days. Oh well! Don’t fret OWS losers...you have the DNC one just a few states away a week later!

Second convention in a row impacted by a hurricane. God must not like RINOs.

So does this mean Romneys speech would be Thursday? If so, isn’t the first NFL Thirsday night game that night??

Wasn’t Monday the day that Huckaboo’s speech was slated? Have to admit, that was my first thought, wondering if it had less to do with Isaac, and more to do with a retaliatory move towards Huck for supporting Akin against the RNC/ticket’s wishes.

Did the same thing in 2008....the right move for sure. The networks were not going to air Monday anyway so it won’t have any negative impact but can definitely have a positive one. Just hope this doesn’t get too strong. Do NOT WANT A NATIONAL DISASTER BUMPING OBAMA in the polls.

Yes, Huckabee is now scrapped unless some or all Monday speakers are rescheduled; but dunno how.

I think the GOP is being played and manipulated. WTF do they do if the storm turns further west and takes longer to hit land?

I still think they are best off encouraging delegates to arrive on Saturday or Sunday, doing the convention while the streets outside are too drenched with rain for OWS protesters. Then conclude the convention and leave before OWS can get themselves organized.

Very good move. Showing the National Hurricane Center that they aren’t going to shut down may result in coverage instead of hyperbole and real landfall and intensity predictions (like west of Mobile Bay at a Cat 1).

Romney was always scheduled for Thurs night - this will remain.

As to NFL, no it is the following week.

OWS will have to spend their parents trust fund money somewhere else than Tampa.
