GOP spokesman Rick Davis just had a press conference on CNN; they are abbreviating their convention. I can't find the article, but I had heard a rumor Friday from another coffee drinker that this was being discussed, and I quickly found a news article confirming it.
Basically, they will gavel the convention to order, and establish a quorum. Smirky and Snarly will not speak- That's being adressed right now on the tube: "The question was, would the president speaking be a positive or a negative. That question is no longer relevant."
How convenient.
I think this a lose/lose for the GOP. If they went on with the full schedule, they would be perceived as callous and uncaring; if they postponed or reduced the convention, the news would be all about the changes, which would simply draw attention to the Katrina disaster and the pathetic response and recovery. So now we know: they have chosen the second option. This will give McCain all the bounce of a lump of clay.
