No, they’re quite sensibly (IMO) going to show that conservatives believe in acting personally when there’s a problem. Good on ‘em! Besides, you know the lefties would be making an issue of the RNC ‘partyers’ while others are in the midst of an emergency. Let’s not give them the chance.

You're wrong on this. Imagine McCain and Palin on the ground in the areas most affected by the landfall of Gustav--it would have HUGE positive effect on public relations and could even convince a huge swath of voters in the southern USA to vote for McCain.

The contrast with the party atmosphere of the Democratic National Convention will be huge, and it'll even shut up one Mark Cuban (remember when Cuban said in his weblog in early 2005 the White House should cancel the Presidential inauguration festivities and use the money to donate to the 2004 tsunami relief?).
