Convention Eve — Gustav

On the drive up to Minneapolis today, I listened as the McCain camp and the RNC stuggled over what to do about the National Convention in the light of Hurricane Gustav. This afternoon, the decision was made to cut short the first day of the convention.

Monday, the convention will convene to take up essential business. The Gulf state Governors, Barbour, Perry, Crist and Jindal will all be keeping watch on the homefront. President Bush will be managing the disaster response. So Monday, there will be no political speeches. On Monday, the convention will approve the rules, credentials and platform and then adjourn.

Tuesday? Who knows.
