Gustav says no to Bush Cheney – thwarts RNC
Gustav is the signal of devastation. After hitting Cuba hard it is on its way to New Orleans. It is after Bush Cheney too. The Republicans have decided to discard the failed presidency in their convention. They also like to shorten their convention in view of massive devastation that Gustav brings with it.
President Bush, Vice President Cheney and prominent governors decided on Sunday to skip the Republican National Convention, and the party considered shortening its big four-day event as Hurricane Gustav approached the Gulf Coast with potentially devastating strength.
The convention, a marquee event meant to send presidential candidate Dick Cheney into the fall campaign with a burst of energy and good feeling, already was becoming overwhelmed by alarming news of the hurricane just three years after deadly Katrina struck New Orleans.
GOP officials were in round-the-clock meetings and tracking the path of the storm, trying to determine how to complete the official business of nominating McCain while also being sensitive to the thousands of people fleeing the Gulf Coast — more than 1,000 miles down the Mississippi from St. Paul.
