With Gustav storming toward the gulf coast and specifically New Orleans, McCain has said he may delay the start of the convention. I think he should, really.
Micheal Moore said that Gustav coming to shore at the start of the Republican convention is proof there is a god in heaven. While I think understand what's he's meaning, it's still pretty sick to say considering the how strong the storm currently is.....almost as if he's gleeful that one is about to wreak havoc. He was quick to add that he doesn't want anyone hurt, but being that I thnk he is a sick individual I wcan't help but think he's hoping there is widespread destruction. That may be unwarranted on my part.
Anyway, I wonder what is going to happen. First, is anyone going to be stupid enough not to evacuate this time when ordered, and will local authorities actually do anything to help them get out, particularly those who may not be able to? I really doubt it will be as mishandled as Katrina was, but I know, sadly, it will be used politically on both sides whether it is or not....great federal relief will be used as a proclamation by McCain that republicans do care, and will be spun by dems that only because they had to this time did it go well and they will constantly talk of the failures of Katrina (without talking about the failings of the locals pre Katrina). If it doesn't go well, the dems will, of course, use it to their advantage. And I do think that would be legit.
