GOP Convention May Be Delayed
John McCain has told Fox News’ Chris Wallace that he may postpone the Republican convention because of Hurricane Gustav.
John McCain said the Republican National Convention may be postponed as federal officials said Hurricane Gustav was gathering to a devastating Category 5 as it headed toward star-crossed New Orleans.
“It just wouldn’t be appropriate to have a festive occasion while a near-tragedy or a terrible challenge is presented in the form of a natural disaster,” McCain told Chris Wallace of “Fox News Sunday,” in an interview taped for tomorrow. “So we’re monitoring it from day to day and I’m saying a few prayers, too.”
