News just in that McWar has suspended most events planned for day one of his party's convention because of Hurricane Gustav. Also President George W Bush and VP Dick Cheney have scrapped plans to address the convention on Monday. Surely keeping Cheney and Bush away can only be a good thing for the Republicans after the disasterous 8 years that they have had? Source
You forget that Bush did win reelection so someone liked him. My concern is with the levees. The Army corp of engineers stated on the news that the levee system has been leaking and is far from being reinforced enough to withstand any hurricane. To me this is more of a concern than a convention.
