McCain orders convention curtailed for Gustav

ST. PAUL, Minn. - John McCain tore up the script for his Republican National Convention on Sunday, canceling most opening-day activities and positioning himself as above mere politics as Hurricane Gustav churned toward New Orleans.

Once again the country is threatened by hurricanes. Thankfully most have us have learned from last time and everyone has already started to run. The Republican National Convention should be on the least of anyone one's worries. If there is a chance that the RNC will be in danger then simply postpone the event to a later time at a possibly different location.
Now of course this is not as easy as proposed. This event has been months in planning but everyone saw what happened with Katrina. Undoubtedly everyone will make the proper preparations. The main question is will this at all have an affect on the republican race. Realistically, probably not, this just gives more spotlight than ever to the Republicans.

If you can't learn the easy way, sometimes you have to trip over your own ignorance just to learn.
