Hm, I wonder what the Lefty reaction to this will be.
John McCain and the GOP are considering scrapping political speeches and turning their St. Paul/Minneapolis convention into a “service” program to help victims of Storm Gustav, The Post has learned.
Sources told The Post that McCain himself might visit the Gulf Coast during the week of the Republican National Convention, which begins tomorrow. McCain is not scheduled to make his nomination speech until Thursday.
The contingency plan – a worst case scenario if the storm devastates coastal areas – would turn Republicans into Red Cross-type volunteers who would help collect donations, food and goods to help storm victims.
Wait, I already know the answer to that question; they’ll say the Republicans are a bunch of crass opportunist who are looking to use a tragedy for political gain. This response will be because Lefties will be pissed they didn’t get to do it themselves.
