in all fairness, the republicans really don't have any good options if gustav comes a-calling. delaying their convention would be both a logistical and political nightmare. but not delaying the convention and risking split screen coverage, with uplifting speeches on one side and fleeing people on the other, could be an even larger debacle for the party. then again, rescheduling the convention only to have gustav fizzle out could make them look foolish.
none of this has anything to do with the reasons why i want the republicans to lose in november. and this could have just as easily happened to the democrats, putting them in the same bind. but the fact that it's happening to the republicans and not the democrats does make it more fun to watch. i'm really curious to see how they will get out of this one.
