ST. PAUL, Minn. — President Bush is unlikely to make it to the Republican National Convention, and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) may deliver his acceptance speech via satellite because of the historically huge hurricane threatening New Orleans, top officials said.

2. The Hurricane excuse Card...OMG

If there ever was a time to JUMP SHIP and LOOK REAL GOOD at the SAME TIME...now is it

McCain should Concede and join the DEMs(OBAMA/BIDEN) in a JOINT EFFORT of COMPLETE UNITY.....ALL For ONE...and ONE For ALL....Dumas

Why take the chance to look good the 10% McBush Way ....this is way better ODDS to look like a hero...Join Obama...think of it,

Ya don't have to work the Election... and might get something of a Post where you and staff can go to semi retire...Don't be stubborn

Go with the ODDS....Ya would look really Smashing if ya join UNITY at the right time...and that is next week Fri...

If ya can arrange it...have Obama/Biden w familiues join you and Sarah on stage for a real UNITY THING...

4. What! McCain is going to satellite in his acceptance speech from NOLA ?????

Will he have a flight suit, a codpiece and a Misiion Accomplished banner too ????? Good gravy !!

What a self-serving self-absorbed asshole. He should be pilloried if he comes close to photo-opping this emergency.

5. Via satellite? From where?

Somebody should remind him that he's not president yet.

8. Katrina = mccain's b'day party

the abject failure of this government in Katrina started with mccains birthday party. He will remind everyone of that if he uses the hurricane as a backdrop to his convention speech.

9. Maybe I'm missing something, but if NO floods again, which looks like a distinct possibility,

won't that once again highlight Bush incompetence. They've had what, 3 years to rebuild and improve the levees?

10. Hurricane Obama shook them up pretty hard.

...and tropical storm Palin is gaining strength.

The GOP is developing an evacuation plan if conditions continue to worsen. :hide:
