Default ...or else God just hates the GOP.

Dems are partying under sunny skies in Denver while a looming Hurricane Gustav is poised to strike just in time for the GOP convention....

Quote:
Senior Republicans said the images of political celebration in Minneapolis while thousands of Americans flee a hurricane could be disastrous. "Senator McCain has always been sensitive to national crisis," said McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds, noting that McCain postponed announcing his presidential candidacy in 2000 because of war in the Balkans. "We are monitoring the situation very closely."
of course, Americans fleeing a disastrous hurricane could take comfort in the fact that McCain was a POW, no?

Quote:
Staging a convention during a major natural disaster would be a public relations challenge for either political party. But GOP officials say the damage could be especially heavy for Republicans, whose reputation was tarred by the Bush administration's bungling of Katrina and its aftermath...

...Some Republicans bemoaned an apparent GOP curse when it comes to summer storms, and noted the contrast between the approach of Gustav and the sunny weather in Denver for the Democrats. "The Republicans can't seem to catch a break when it comes to August and when it comes to the weather," said Karl Rove, a former advisor to the current president, on Fox News Channel yesterday.
get a clue, Karl - it's your rotten karma
