That is a very frightening path!
Indeed!
The Mayor of New Orleans has ordered a mandatory evacuation.
The issue is not will their be victims, but rather, where will the victims be.
The Republicans have tough choices to make, To hold a celebratory convention while people are running for their lives is not a good idea.
One of the prime reasons for a convention is to get PR - and now all eyes will be on the Gulf Coast, not the Twin Cities.
The logistics of postponing the convention are horrendous - in fact it is well neigh impossible; rearranging thousands of hotel accommodations and convention space on short notice just can't be done.
One way or another, the Republican Party must meet in convention to conduct the business of the company.
I suspect the convention will proceed on schedule with a re-arrangement of activities and a
radical very definite change in tone.
