Cancel the Convention?

There has a lot of talk that due to Hurricane Gustav the Republicans should cancel their convention. In my opinion that would not make sense. A sampling of the reasons would be "we should be evacuating people" and "they will appear unsympathetic." Now honestly, convention or no convention, FEMA and Bush are going to see this as an opportunity to redeem themselves from Katrina. McCain and Palin are currently on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and are a short flight away as soon as the convention is over. The evacuations are already in progress, and convention or no convention will continue. The evacuations started during the DNC, but it was difficult to find that covered in the mainstream media, so why so much pressure now? I think it is the media trying to fabricate a bump for Obama. The media is making it sound like when the republicans hypothetically cancel their convention the delegates are all personally going to rush to the disaster area and do somthing actively helpful. Talking heads and windbags won't get anything useful done, that will be the National Guard and private charities. Hopefully this time people don't try and wait for their welfare checks instead of evacuating.
