TAMPA - There is a distinct possibility that the 2012 Republican National Convention will be cancelled.
The decision may come not so much because the Tampa-St. Petersburg area will suffer a direct hit from Isaac, which built from a tropical storm toward a hurricane as Sunday turned to Monday.
Rather, it may happen because of the damage the high winds and rain would inevitably wreak elsewhere on the Gulf Coast just before the delegates are slated to reconvene Tuesday in the Tampa Bay convention hall.
Conversations with a series of top advisers to presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney made clear that his staff is proceeding afoot with plans to conduct their partys quadrennial nominating convention.
A conference call at 5:45 p.m. Sunday spelled out the adjusted schedule for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday after organizers earlier decided to cancel Mondays opening convention session.

(11,495 posts)At least it won't be cancelled before the official nomination of Mitt, and before his wife gets to give her "big speech" to try and make her husband look like a "nice guy"! Of course after that who knows. I too doubt it will be cancelled, but then again if Romney is worried about the Ron Paul supporters acting up, who knows what they might do. All he cares about is getting the "official" nomination and that is supposed to happen tomorrow.

show the real ryan in your blogs
ryan switched gears in 2010,he is an opportunist who is taking advantage of the times. He voted for medicare but changed his tune when the tea party swept the establishments candidates aside in mid-term elections-the right is doing their best to hide this and portray a new image of ryan!
just another flip flopper like mitt!
