Tampa Welcomes RNC



Of course, I love the irony of this: the Republican National Convention held in a Democratic city, and the first day's events cancelled due to a tropical storm!

Isaac has achieved hurricane wind speed but he is far off the coast and moving ever so slowly. He was projected to be off the coast near Tampa by 2:00 pm but there is not a drop of rain to be seen. It will get here eventually. The skies are dark and the winds are barely beginning to pick up; just enough to rustle the trees. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm certainly not going to waste any time watching the convention. They mean nothing nowadays. Just political hype.

I will not be paying attention to the convention either. My only interest/involvement is security. That is not about politics.

It looks like it is coming from the news. Be careful. I worry about you
and Teal and Martin.

Martin probably got hit harder than me and Teal. Yes, Isaac finally arrived in Tampa Bay. Buckets of rain. Sometimes the rain comes down so hard that the rain hitting the roof drowns out all other sounds. It was loud enough to wake me last night.

I forgot to mention that Brian Sandoval (R), governor of Nevada is all set to give at speech at the RNC. I suppose he's bucking for a plum appointment to the Romney administration if the Republicans win the White House, and we all know his last name is being used to buy favor with the Hispanic vote.

I am no longer surprised by how far the two sides will to to win the election or whom they will get into bed with.

When Romney wins the White House.

This is like Isaac telling the RNC to take a hike.Meaning that they do not want them down there.

Yes, it is.

The conventions may have served a purpose back in the 1950s, but I don't understand the reason for them in this day of media blitz.
comment by troutbend on Aug 26, 2012 12:24 PM ()
I agree!
reply by eddie on Aug 26, 2012 3:02 PM ()
I hope it continues to stay away and be calm for you.
