There's a new hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, churning its way toward New Orleans, with landfall due around Monday, the opening day of the Republican convention. If Gustav hits and causes major damage one of the casualties could be the McCain campaign.
Gustav has left 71 people dead so far in the Caribbean. It struck the Cayman Islands on Friday, its winds knocking down trees and power lines.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said an evacuation order was likely, though not before Saturday, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency said it expects a "huge number" of Gulf Coast residents will be told to leave the region this weekend.
There's been talk of rescheduling some of the events to avoid the unpleasant reminders of the criminally inept way the Bush administration handled hurricane Katrina.
As Katrina hit Louisiana exactly three years ago, George Bush was attending a fundraiser in Arizona for — guess who? John McCain.
