Cindy McCain, Laura Bush To Speak Tonight

Yesterday, the McCain campaign and convention planners said that due to Hurricane Gustav, all convention activities would be canceled for Monday except for essential business.

But Republican National Committee chairman Mike Duncan and McCain campaign manager Rick Davis announced on a conference call this morning that Cindy McCain and Laura Bush would speak tonight after that business, from 5:50 pm to 6:10 pm ET. Also, there would be a video from Gulf Coast governors sans Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who's pretty busy at the moment.

Davis said that Monday was a day when politics should be put aside, and that they were not trying to politicize today's speeches by Cindy McCain and Laura Bush. But he noted that it would be the best way to urge GOP delegates to donate money to hurricane relief efforts.

Also on the call, Davis said there were no contingency plans for McCain to accept his nomination outside of St. Paul.

7. Wait a minute!!!

Shouldn't THE TODD speak out about the importance of ABSTINENCE ONLY education?

After all, he attends many of Sarah's meetings with her although he's not an elected office holder in Alaska.

Why shouldn't he preach about morality just because his own daughter demonstrates the effects of abstinence only "education"?

Let Bubba Palin speak!

Free Bubba Palin!

9. Two things at the same time

Looks to me like they are having a hard time trying to work with two events at the same time. Wonder how they will handle the two wars? Maybe McCain should send his VP pick to New Orleans.
