As media and delegates filed into the Tampa this weekend, they not only prepared for hours of sessions, speeches, and events, but they braced for Isaac. The tropical storm, now in the Gulf of Mexico and headed towards New Orleans caused the RNC to suspend their events today and instead shift gears on an already packed schedule Tuesday-Thursday.
James Davis, the RNC Communications Director told ABC News said they were “cautiously optimistic” about the rest of the week. They will continue to monitor the situation and hope that landfall doesn’t cause a destruction to rival that of hurricane Katrina in Gulf Coast.
