Hurricane Gustav puts politics at hold for the Republican Party With a horrible storm bearing down on the gulf for the republicans, it is people not the political campaign that is important especially, after the blunder caused by republican Bush administration, accused of gross indifference and incompetence in terms of disaster planning, relief and reconstruction when hurricane Katrina struck. Sen. John McCain, has announced his decision to cancel virtually all activity connected with the opening of its convention at St. Paul owing to threat from Hurricane Gustav .In an election year both the republicans do not have the luxury to be indifferent towards the electorate. In fact, Republicans are considering ways to tap donors to help provide for relief in the Gulf Coast region, avoiding appearance of revelry amid suffering. The campaign would try to shift the tenor of its commercials towards generating funds for those likely to get affected rather than concentrating on ads criticizing Obama. McCain could be judged by how he handles this latest storm. http://www.instablogs.com/
