Hurricane in Gulf forces changes to Republican Convention in Minnesota

August 31, 2008 By admin Leave a Comment

The script for the Republican National Convention in Saint Paul, Minnesota has been changed as a result of the threat of Hurricane Gustav blasting the Gulf Coast.

The Missouri delegation to the convention got the word the same time as reporters heard of the changes. Missouri Republican Party Executive Director Jared Craighead says many of the events which had been scheduled for today are being curtailed, with only emphasis being placed only on those things which are required to do.

Appearances by President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were cancelled, with most of the other events which had been scheduled for Monday postponed or scrapped altogether.
