COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden is postponing his planned trip to Tampa, Fla., the site of the Republican National Convention.

An Obama campaign official says Biden is putting off Monday's trip in order to ensure that all local law enforcement and emergency management resources can stay focused on Tropical Storm Isaac, which could impact Florida during the convention.

Biden had planned a two-day swing through Florida during the Republican meetings to counter their message. The official says Biden still plans to continue with stops in Orlando and St. Augustine, Fla., on Tuesday.

4. White House has access to the very best weather prediction resources!

I guess Florida EMA will be busy if the predictions hold...

5. Shrewd political head fake IMO. The right wing bloggosphere has been yarping on Biden's Tampa

trip for a week hoping for a nice juicy gaffe or a poor turnout, then *poof.*

Fooled ya, nya nya!!

7. Am glad he cancelled. I think he shouldn't go at all during their convention. I don't want

republicans to come near ours. Heck I don't even like this "spin room" thing they do at each others conventions. But then again I won't be watching.

8. Joe being Classy!

Biden afraid of a little rain.
