Romney to Louisiana to survey Isaac fallout
Source: Politico
Mitt Romney is going to New Orleans today to examine the damage from Hurricane Isaac this week, a source told POLITICO.
He'll skip his planned rally in Virginia and meet with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who missed his own convention speech, for the second time in a row, to stay at home and deal with the storm, according to Fox News' Carl Cameron.

Isaac never rose to Katrina levels, but it did wreak havoc in Louisiana, and the trip is a way for Romney to show attentiveness to it that he couldn't while the convention was still going on. It also puts him in the state before President Obama.

And he's hoping to change the subject after the Clint Eastwood debacle last night.

(7,252 posts)Rather presumptious of him. I can just see it now: "While President Obama was campaigning, Romney was touring the damage from Hurricane Isaac." WTF?

I can't wait for his obligatory verbal gaffes to be ignored by the liberal media.
