Republican Convention.
The campaign for John McCain finally got a day late start for the Republican convention, due to hurricane Gustav in the Gulf of Mexico. Tonight President Bush addressed the GOP delegates at St Paul, Minnesota via live feed as he highlighted the services of the republican nominee for the job of President of the United States. According to many interviews conducted by the major media covering the event, the delegates seem very enthusiastic about the Vice-President choice in Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska. However, all major television, namely ABC, NBC and CBS are covering the response of many people outside the convention to the VP choice. The ongoing investigation in the abuse of power by the Governor in Alaska, and the announcement of the Governor's teenage daughter pregnancy put a question mark about the choice. Now , the issues will be debated as we will finally get to compare the message of the Obama-Biden and the McCain-Palin tickets. Yet, if hurricane Hanna heads for the eastern coast of Florida or the Carolinas, the McCain campaign might find themselves trying to condense the message and speeches. The campaign still needs to highlight the major differences between the Republicans and the Democrats policies and direction for the next four years.

Events totally outside the control of the campaign often will have a major impact on a race. Some argue that the hurricane actually helped McCain since it kept Bush away from the convention.
