For the second year in a row, the Republicans have had to cancel part of their convention due to a hurricane:

TAMPA, Fla. — Republicans announced Saturday that they had effectively canceled the first day of its convention for safety concerns associated with an impending hurricane.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement that ‘the Republican National Convention will convene on Monday August 27th and immediately recess until Tuesday afternoon, August 28th.’

That move essentially postpones the activities of the first of four scheduled days of the convention. But Priebus said in a conference call with reporters that the details of the revised schedule were not yet settled, and could be announced as soon as Sunday.

The Republican National Convention is going to take place. We know that we will officially nominate Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan,’ he said.
