Republicans braced for more disruption as Isaac heads for New Orleans
Source: The Guardian
Republicans are working on emergency plans to salvage their convention as tropical storm Isaac hurtles towards New Orleans, with party officials acknowledging that their carefully-choreographed event could face further disruption.
The Republicans, still haunted by the fatal delays of President Bush in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina exactly seven years ago, would find it difficult to push ahead with their convention in Tampa in the event of serious flooding.
Organisers said for the first time that the remaining days Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday may also be disrupted by Isaac hitting the Gulf coast. They expressed hope that the convention, with a reshaped schedule, would go ahead, but conceded that in a worst-case scenario the whole thing might have to be cancelled.
Under that scenario, Romney would express regret over events in New Orleans and say that human life takes precedence over politics.

Pat: what is God saying to you now about this? Does he have a message for the GOP? Can you share that with us?
