Servant leadership puts country first!

McCain/Palin 08!

McCain might make his acceptance speech from the gulf coast even though he isn't the president and has no authority to oversee anything that's going on there. The republican governor of Mississippi invited McCain and Palin to visit an evacuation center there, but didn't invite Obama and Biden. Exactly how is McCain not politicizing this?

Yeah, but why does Sen. McCain refer to the people of New Orleans as "those people" when he made a statement about the convention earlier today. We are going to help "those people" is how he referred to his fellow Americans who are facing another possible lose.

This storm is going to cause a lot of problems for this nation. I only hope they are better prepared for this one, then they were for Katrina.

it is time to concentrate on how WE ALL will HELP the people in our country since they have not been yet helped since Katrina and now Gustav...

time to put people first

no other way around

if the RNC poured their resources there and alos the other politicians we can feel proud of whoever does that..

WALK the TALK

Why were they even planning on a "celebration of NOLA culture" before the hurricane? To rub in that the adminstration completely fell down on the job in regards to Katrina? Or just an insincere, too late apology?

Either way, it's disgusting. But then what else can we expect from a party and administration that is still using September 11th as an excuse/justification for everything?

This is what Mccain and the Republicans is suppose to do the right thing to make up for three years ago

Funny how the GOP is worried about the storm. They left millions stranded last time, and gave away items set aside for the to government agencies. People are being forced out of FEMA trailers from Katrina and the GOP is acting so concerned about future disasters they haven’t help 3 years after the last one

The only thing McCane cares about is winning. What looks good for me? How can I get more votes? How can I use tragedy to benefit me? He already threatens our national security by adding the cheerleader to his ticket.

McCain is smart enough to let the hand of God work for him.

Delaying the convention.proceedings so that Bush and Cheney can't make speeches?

brilliant!

I heard a reporter at the convention center say " This could be a good game play for the repblicans"

This is not something the Republicans planned. It is a natural disaster and unfortunate all of the Nation will be impacted.

CNN should respect the decsision that was made and to not turn this into a political analysis on vote gains.

Have some respect. What would the media do if they decided to party on? I can only imagine

CNN should respect the Republican party and leave politics out of the scene for now.

I think the Republican party would benefit more from having the convention then they will by choosing not to have it due to the New Orleans disaster.

It is the right thing to do and any respecting caring human being would understand the decision and not turn it into a political move to gain votes.

Shame on you!

This pretending to care is just more pandering.

Whatever Dems or Repubs do, stay out of New Orleans...they don't need more bodies there on top of the mess that will be there after this horrific storm.

Yes, scaled back enough as they send 8 team members to Alaska to VET their VP choice.

The word is the McGimmick campaign have discovered some issues due to the fact they did not vet Ms. Plain. Now the GOP are demanding that a vetting process takes place.

Great judgment McCain

Another Gimmick brought to you by the McCain Campaign

The first most important decision and McCain FAILS!

WOW! I really respect the Republicans' stance on this. It makes up big-time for the nauseating Obama Vegas style extravanza with Greek columns trying to "crown" Obama, the emperor with no clothes - a title "purchased" with millions of dollars by O-blah-blah's suckered supporters.

CAN MONEY REALLY BUY AN ELECTION OR TRUTH AND HONOR? If you believe that - PLEASE vote Democratic - AND FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF!

BUT I WON'T!

Could this possibly be politically motivated ? I really hate to be cynical (yeah ) Where were John McCain and Bush last time ? Why haven"t they rebuilt New Orleans before this ? The Levies SHOULD have been finished by now !!!! Republican spin and pandering now, who would have thought??

Should Hurricane Gustav prove to be a major hurricane to the gulf coast, I believe both campaigns should suspend their activities. At least, in diaster our nation should stand as one.

Raising funds for hurricane relief is time very well spent.
