I respectfully disagree.
The democrats got an eight point bounce out of their repeated POUNDING of the Republican Party over and over and over for 4 days during PRIME TIME!
The Republican Party will be unable to return the favor,,,,and no amount of 'goodwill' can make up for that kind of 'in your face' marketing.
It would cost tens of millions of dollars (if not more) to reach that kind of audience repeatedly in prime time. Absolutely errible luck for us.
....terrible luck...
Dunno. It’s not strengthening despite the hot air of the MSM hoping it so. zhopefully the worst of this will be over by Monday night.
At 1:00 CDT the maximum sustained winds were at 115 mph, barely a category 3 which begins at 111 mph. That’s not to say it won’t strengthen but the MSM is currently still billing it as the storm of the century as well as the mother of all storms.
Gustav has knocked BO out of the media altogether

when we get through this safely, Bush, McCain and Jindal will all be blamed by the MSM for overreacting and disrupting people’s lives.
Good. Now I can watch Weeds at its regular time. No need to wait until its on On Demand.
God Bless the Republican Party.
Maybe Jindal can get Sarah driving bus shuttles!
I meant for this weekend - certainly his speech and afterglow is dead.
actually there are equal time rules that apply.
The dinosaurs have to give equal time to the republicans.
They also cant substitute Obama for GWBush time.
Pres. George W. Bush
January 20, 2000 Inaugural Address
It was a no win situation. Hold the convention, and be accused of hating black people again, or not hold it, and delay the race.
What about Fred’s speech? Will they be re-arranging schedules to work him in, or will he just be scrapped as well? I was very much looking forward to seeing FRed.
when you have the CNN booth standing up and cheering Obama, there is nothing you can do to get such balance over there.
Clearly .. that rotten sonofa .....@#$^
“If I’d only had a war on my watch.”
Very realistic skipping Monday.
First lives in a part of the country are at risk
and property.
The news media and a large part of the country will be focused on the weather, not the meaningless of the first night of the convention.
Am glad to see the country club wing of the Republican party gets it and will focus on the reality of the moment.
I think all things are in flux .. understandably.
Canceling the opening night plays right into the hands of the Demlibs and their cohorts in the media.
I actually think that since Rove has been at FOX NEWS that he has lost control of the weather machine, and unfortunately it in the hands of the DemoncRATS!:-)
EXACTLY. Not to mention reminding everyone of Katrina (unfairly, I may add).
An absolutely incredible stroke of luck for Hussein and the democrats.

This hurricane will cost the Republicans dearly--as no matter what happens from here on--the ability to return the favor 'in-kind' is now lost to a great degree.
