John McCain said the Republican National Convention may be postponed as federal officials said Hurricane Gustav was gathering to a devastating Category 5 as it headed toward star-crossed New Orleans.
It just wouldn't be appropriate to have a festive occasion while a near-tragedy or a terrible challenge is presented in the form of a natural disaster, McCain told Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday, in an interview taped for tomorrow. So we're monitoring it from day to day and I'm saying a few prayers, too.
McCain also said: I'm afraid, Chris, that we may have to look at that situation and we'll try to monitor it. I've been talking to Govs. Jindal, Barbour, Riley. Chris, I've been talking to all of them.
Officials at the convention, which is to open Monday in St. Paul, Minn., tell Politico they are figuring out how to handle the formal business of nominating McCain even if some delegations are not able to attend.

ha ha...Let's all remember how the former Dem Governor (Blanco-in-the-heado) did last time.
Great idea. But remember, it's not one's actions that count, but the PC-ness of one's ideas.
Because the Dems via the MSM have hung this on the Pubbies. It’s not fair, but they are NEVER fair, they are BIAS!! I would CMB too.
I have a problem with postponing the event. A lot of people planned their schedules around next week.
Especially Blanc-O. It was GOVERNOR Blanc-O'S CALL to activate the Southeast Louisiana Evacuation Plan that had been rewritten the year before (by none other than Jamie Lee Whitt, x42's FEMA man).
Think about it: A probable Cat5 heading straight for NOrleans and she refuses (even after prodding by George Bush himself), to evacuate.
Sarah's got more of those than Obama and Slow Joe combined.
Especially what happenend with Bush and Katrina. It seems that him vacationing during that time really came back to bite him. Though it seems disappointing, we have to remember who we are dealing with a very biased media.
