Hurricane France(s) took the convention off CNN.com homepage.
Edited on Thu Sep-02-04 02:25 PM by Bleachers7
The DNC was the front page throughout the convention. Frances has taken the RNC off. It's funny that France(s) has beaten the republicans. Florida will pay dearly for this.

6. It may not be such a great prop.
When the storm is over and the projected cost of the relief effort is known. We can compare it to the money Bush handed out to the rich in his tax cuts and the money spent going it alone in Iraq to find the non-existent WMD's.

7. The Repugs are the idiots who wanted their convention
at the end of the month in or to capitalize on 9/11. Now they have to deal with a horrible hurricane.
