COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Vice President Joe Biden is postponing his planned trip to Tampa, Fla., the site of the Republican National Convention.
An Obama campaign official says Biden is putting off Monday's trip in order to ensure that all local law enforcement and emergency management resources can stay focused on Tropical Storm Isaac, which could impact Florida during the convention.

I bet they cancel the whole thing. Isaac is going to send 2-4 feet of a storm surge right into the convention floor.
“Biden is putting off Monday’s trip in order to ensure that all local law enforcement and emergency management resources can stay focused on Tropical Storm Isaac...”
Did he really think they would focus on him?
That could sure happen.
And it’s o,k, if it does. These week long conventions defy logic. Way too much money spent, imho. Make it a one day event. (I think I must be becoming a geezer, lol)
Damn. I was really looking forward to watching Plugs pleading with their supporters to vote so they could win Tennessee.
I think its too much and too big myself, needs to be leaner and more brief. I think a message is being sent from somebody in a much higher position about this as well, of course mankind especially politicians never see signs from a heavenly source much less act upon them.
Probably the real reason Biden isn’t going is that he heard the bars will all be closed due to the hurricane.
Joe Bidet discovered he’d booked to the wrong convention.
Good point! If he were not one heartbeat away from the Presidency I would almost love Joe. He does make me laugh.
“Probably the real reason Biden isnt going is that he heard the bars will all be closed due to the hurricane.”
Nah, it’s that the ice cream truck will not be making his rounds. I understand Joe really digs the music!
Coward!
Afraid he’s gonna get wet.
No DinsosaurMedia TV coverage on Monday...that’s the real reason.
Biden was been getting some criticism for planning a Tampa trip when the police and local government were already stretched to the max - and this was before the possibility of a hurricane strike became a consideration.
Probably never intended to go in reality.
There is no low to which the left will not stoop.
Obama & Plugs have no consideration for the inconvenience they cause as they tour around spreading their important propoganda.
They don't show up to help in disasters - but run around causing them!!!
They don’t want Biden wandering the streets, if he goes someone better pin his address and phone number to his shirt.
Yeah they call them Global Warming
