Would they have all but canceled the convention if the hurricane was headed for Daytona or Corpus???
Probably...but it's only the first day, and as one local Los Angeles broadcaster proved this morning, no matter what Hurricane it is, or where it is, the word is right on the tip of the tongue - Katrina. Right or wrong, that's how it is.
Convention is in recess for one hour. To reconvene at approximately 5:03pm EDT.
