(The Blaze/AP) — The Republican National Convention will briefly convene Monday before taking a recess until Tuesday afternoon because of severe weather, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said Saturday.
“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 explained.

“After consulting with Governor Scott, NOAA and local emergency management officials, we are optimistic that we will begin an exciting, robust convention that will nominate the Romney-Ryan ticket.”
Mitt Romney weighed in on Twitter:
The safety of those in Isaac’s path is of the utmost importance. I applaud those in Tampa making appropriate schedule changes.

CNN adds:
GOP officials expect 50,000 people to attend the convention where Mitt Romney will officially accept his party’s presidential nomination and make the final turn to the November Election.
The delay was brought about because Tropical Storm Isaac is expected to be west of Tampa in the Gulf of Mexico early Monday morning – the first day of the week long event.
Priebus is expected to give more details on the modified schedule shortly. According to the National Review, his main concern is “severe transportation difficulties due to sustained wind and rain.”

Apparently, organizers may attempt to squeeze Monday’s speakers into the remaining days.
Priebus’ memo concludes: “We have an experienced team that will ensure changes are operationally smooth and create as little disruption as possible. The most important concern is safety, but our Convention program will proceed.”
Russ Schriefer, a senior strategist for the Romney campaign, assured: “We will absolutely be able to get our message out.”
This is a breaking story. Updates will be added.

Posted on August 26, 2012 at 9:41pmYou know, I got so mad when watching FNS today I about blew a gasket! I now know why Beck can’t STAND Bill Kristol. When Wallace asked him if losing Monday due to the hurricane would hurt the convention, Kristol basically said. ” Oh no, that was just going to be a “bash Obama” day anyway. Waste of time. Which side are you ON,dude?. While sitting at the same table was Gov. Mike Huckabee who was scheduled to speak Monday night. Huckabee called him on it though. Kristol is a progressive “Repuclican” if there ever was one.

Report Post »The Republican platform leaves a lot to be desired for us Constitutionalists. Some of their planks are good, but it is what they leave out that is troubling. IF the RNC were concerned with true conservatism and Liberty, they would not have strong-armed and stole the Ron Paul delegates. Those delegates were harassed into switching over to Romney. It is this kind of behaviour that casts a long shadow on everything the Republicans say and try to make us believe. Obama certainly needs to go. In fact, he should have been impeached and thrown out a long time ago. Since the Republicans now claim at this late date that they will “consider” a return to a gold standard, screams of a placating ingenuousness.
People need to look at the Romney/Ryan voting records That is where you will find the real truth about what will happen under a Romney/Ryan presidency.
I am a life long registered Republican. But never again will I vote for a Republican-in-name-only. I love America and freedom for the citizenry. Prove to me Mr. Romney, Mr. Ryan, that you are for Liberty and small government. Perhaps I will change my mind. Liberty is the # 1 right that we are losing. Sometimes I think they want it that way.
John Quincy Adams said, and I am paraphrasing,“ To have Liberty is to have power”.
And to re-post Benjamin Franklin’s sentiment: ” Those who give up Liberty for security deserve neither.”

Taking their cue from Vice President Biden, who canceled his Florida visit, the Republicans are curtailing some of their convention events.

“A severe thunderstorm (derecho) knocked out power at the Republican convention in Detroit in 1980. That storm produced a 103 mph wind gust on the beach near Benton Harbor and 75 mph winds in Detroit. Ronald Reagan was nominated at that convention and proceeded to win a 44-state landslide in November 1980 over Jimmy Carter, who struggled with low or no economic growth, high inflation and interest rates, rising unemployment and intermittent energy crises. Reagan won a 49-state landslide in 1984, winning 59% of the popular vote in that election.”
