As a way to show a break from the past and to draw a crowd by attracting displaced hurricane victims, the Republicans should move next weeks convention to the Louisiana Superdome to coincide w Hurricane Gustav expected to make landfall during the big show.
The move would show a break from the Bush Administration by forcing Hurrican Victims to not only suffer from Republican incompetence, but also to hear about how they plan to carry on this incompetence for the next 4 years. This would also ease convention planners worries that nobody would show up for the big party. The move would be seen as a risk by most experts, but I predict would result in a huge McCain bounce by putting the spotlight on the failing of the Bush Administration and how he would made things even worse for the next 4 years.
