You just can’t POSTPONE an event like that...it took 18 months to do this. There are hotels, and convention space that gets taken by others....either do it, or cancel..You can’t postpone. I say just do the nominating part...Have McCain do his speech and be done with it...it’s just life happening.

I agree...have Palin at the convention doing the political work and John and Cindy doing the humanitarian thing.

And if they cancel, the press will howl at how the GOP screwed over all those vendors, hoteliers, restaurant waiters, etc. in St. Paul.

yep, suspend, do not postpone... fast forward the convention to Wed or Thurs and skip all the uneccessary banter and stuff no one watches anyway.

the important thing is to introduce Palin via her speech and a biography about her life and McCain with the same..

viola! done! talk about change ! I think it will be a huge + and people will be happy with far less bloviating.

How about seeing if they can extend it a day and have it run just 2 days, Thurs & Fri?
One of the main problems is that the media is going to be giving top billing to the hurricane and the Republicans aren’t going to get the coverage or viewers. If they wait until Thurs, the Hurricane will be over.
