    GOP delays convention due to Hurricane Isaac

    GOP delays convention due to Hurricane Isaac

    ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- After watching Tropical Storm Isaac creep toward Florida for days, Republican National Convention officials decided late Saturday that it was too risky to start the event on Monday as planned.

    Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said convention officials will only convene briefly on Monday and adjourn for the rest of the day.

    "Our first priority is ensuring the safety of delegates, alternates, guests, members of the media attending the Republican National Convention, and citizens of the Tampa Bay area," Priebus said in a statement.

    Priebus assured that the main work of the convention - officially nominating Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as the party's presidential ticket - will take place. It just won't take place on Monday as planned.

    "We have an experienced team that will ensure changes are operationally smooth and create as little disruption as possible," Priebus said. "The most important concern is safety, but our Convention program will proceed."

    Earlier in the day, Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency to prepare for the storm. GOP officials were holding a conference call Saturday afternoon to provide further updates on Monday's cancellation.

    Where's Pat Robertson when you need him. This is surely the work of God ay Pat? Joe Biden had to cancel his little campaign stop in Florida too. And then you have the Westboro idiots set to protest outside the convention. Is Pat's God not happy with these fools?

    CA reputation at RNC: 'scary,' 'hyper environmental,' great wine'

    The latest on California politics and government

    CA reputation at RNC: 'scary,' 'hyper environmental,' great wine'



    ST. PETE BEACH, Fla. - Sunday's Republican National Convention welcome party brought California Republicans together with delegations from all corners of the country.

    So what do those other Republicans think about the home state of the convention's largest delegation?

    "You don't want my honest opinion," Ann Sullivan, a delegate from North Carolina said as she swayed to music blasting through the speakers at St. Petersburg's Tropicana Field.

    "They're very liberal and you just don't know what they're going to do," said Christine Pilozzi, a delegate from New York. "That's scary."

    "Are there any?" J. Michael Collins of Maryland asked of California Republicans.

    Other impressions included "surfers," "ganja" and "hyper environmental."

    "If you want to do something odd and weird, go to California," Pilozzi said, offering that, on the plus side, the state produces "great wine."

    Despite the California's solidly blue reputation, delegates from other states were quick to throw their support behind the Republicans hailing from California.

    "I'm proud of the Republicans coming out of California," Sullivan said. "They have my sympathy."

    Her advice for members of the Golden State GOP?

    "Stand up for (your) beliefs and give them some moxie," she said.
