Distant tropical threat in Florida on GOP convention radar
Published August 21, 2012
Associated Press

MIAMI – Forecasters are keeping a wary eye on a tropical depression in the Atlantic Ocean that poses a potential threat to Florida during next week's Republican National Convention in Tampa.

National Hurricane Center computer models Tuesday predicted the depression would grow into a hurricane over the next few days. Some models had the storm striking Florida or passing close after moving across Cuba as early as Sunday.

Forecasters caution that long-range storm track predictions can be off by hundreds of miles. A hurricane hunter plane was scheduled to investigate the system Tuesday.

Thousands of Republicans will gather in Tampa next week to nominate Mitt Romney for president and Paul Ryan for vice president. GOP and Tampa officials say they have contingency plans in case a storm blows through.

Why the "barrier" they installed to keep the GOP faithful from the elements has crashed down and they won't be able to repair it in time!

Sheeple might start waking up to the fact that Demicans = Republicrats and that there is an alternative to the socialist status quo out there.

Don’t you miss the days when the conventions actually meant something? They’ve just become a big w a n k fest. [fog]

I liked when the Presidential nomination went to the front runner and the VP nomination went to the #2 even if they hated each other.
