I hear that the theme music will be "Beauty and the Beast." ;)
<snort> Good one!
On a more serious topic. I heard a rumor they might cancel the RNC if Gustav does any serious damage. I guess the Big Elephant doesn't want to be seen partying during a natural disaster. Anyone hear anything on this?
EDIT: Plus cancelling it would be a good excuse not to have GWB on stage, reminding everyone whose party he belongs to ;)

Probably a smart move. Nothing says callous and unfeeling like throwing (or attending) a big party during a disaster. Smacks of Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
heh. Looks like Cheney and Bush bowed out already. McCain is wiping his brow right about now.
Wow ..who said that?
shakes his monkey head
When did politics become such a hate fest?

That's a reaction to James Dobson's Focus On The Family and their mass mailing imploring their followers to pray for rain in Denver to disrupt the DNC. A%*%%%@ tactics generally reap a+%&%$% responses.

Politics has always been a blood sport. However, you can generally trace this level of nastiness to Newt Gingrich and his Contract With America campaign in 1994, which instructed Republican campaigning to describe their opponents in explicitly negative terms. Specifically, they should concentrate on calling Democrats unpatriotic and spend as much time talking about things like abortion rather than, say, economics or foreign policy.
And it worked beautifully! So now everybody uses it.

Because hoping people in several states that have nothing to do with the convention get washed away is the same thing as pray for some rain.

i think that's some of that "moral relativism" the left likes to practice. and they wonder why the moderates in their party are so willing to jump ship if the other side offers an attractive alternative *cough*reagan*cough*...

What on earth are you talking about? As Aberzombie points out above, the quote refers to the RNC being disrupted, not to several states being washed away. Read the quote, man. My point was merely that if it hadn't been for Republican making a point of praying for rain during the DNC, then nobody would have mentioned that when the rain finally arrived, it was during the RNC instead.
