Gustav Could Delay Republican Turn
Last week, the Democrats had their turn to share their platform with the country, and this week ahead it is time for the Republican’s to have that same turn. However, a storm is set to hit the country in the form of Gustav. If this storm is bad enough, word has it that the Republican National Convention might be delayed depending on how badly Hurricane Gustav affects the country.
This comes to us via Broadcasting & Cable. There is no word that this is a definite plan yet, but an eye is being focused on the hurricane. The Republican National Convention is set to take place in Minnesota starting September Monday. Earlier this week, John McCain picked Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. On Sunday morning, George Bush and Dick Cheney both announced that they will not be make it to the convention.
At this time, Gustav is quickly heading towards the Gulf Coast, and it will be making landfall near New Orleans Monday morning. This storm could possibly be stronger than Katrina, which hit and devastated New Orleans three years ago. News on this story continues to develop, and by all means keep the Gulf Coast in your thoughts.
