What will McCain do if Cat 3-5 Gustav hits NOLA during the RNC convention?
It very well could hit early next week when the repukes are in Minnesota. Do they keep the party going or do they postpone it? I'm thinking McCain will be forced to postpone it or even cancel it for fear that this problematic photo might be aired all over the country:

2. He'll do exactly what he did last time. Nothing. Perhaps have some cake...
... and suggest the people of NOLA do the same.

9. Well, I guess the demographics have changed... so, he is likely to do something.

6. It's too bad that the I 35 bridge couldn't have collapsed while the 'Pukes were in town
...assuming it was going to collapse sometime, that is. Due to Pawlenty's neglect.

8. He'll suggest NOLA residents take their small private planes to their 2nd homes
that are further inland.

13. I can see the split-screen on CNN right now..
On the left side, American citizens on the roofs of their houses, waving and begging help.
On the right side, Republicans attacking their fellow American citizens in speech after speech after speech.

Quite a contrast. If there's a recipe for a negative convention bounce that doesn't involve protests and riots, this could be it.

I might be boarding-up my parents' windows here in NOLA later this week.. :scared:

15. He'll explain that he was a POW so he knows what it feels like
What else?
