Very good move. Showing the National Hurricane Center that they arent 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).
What on earth are you talking about?

I was just talking about the McGovern convention some years back. The keynote was in the wee hours, and I think the coronation was then too, and the VP nominee was shortly after discovered to have had ELECTRO SHOCK TREATMENT!
Nixon was no longer planning to run as a LIBERAL ~ Tricky Dick had arrived!
It's going to be hard to beat that one but the GOP-e has so far demonstrated they have no sense. ANYONE, and I mean Anyone could have planned a convention somewhere there wasn't a good probability of a hurricane stopping by!

The old time week long conventions are surely on the way out, not to be missed.

In 1972 Miami hosted both the Dem and Rep conventions.

And, since the MSM nets were shortchanging MONDAY, now they will have to cover it gavel to gavel. And everyone will be covered.
What strategery!

DId you check out the national hurricane map I referenced? It’s pretty easy to use ~ best bet on missing a hurricane is North and West ~ MIami is just nutso in August.

Agreed. Just a bunch of politicans who like to hear themselves talk.

We will have to raise hell if they cover more of the Dem convention. Will be interesting...

The latest models show a further west trend, so it’s likely it won’t harm Tampa much besides rain and strong gusts. HOWEVER, I am concerned this could make landfall as a major hurricane, a plus for Obama unless he screws up relief efforts.
