Bush, Cheney Skipping Convention; RNC Abbreviated?
The AP is reporting that President Bush and VP Cheney will skip the GOP convention due to Hurricane Gustav. FOX, meanwhile, is reporting that Gulf Coast delegates are being chartered home.
CNN's King: The RNC must be gaveled into order Monday so that they can officially nominate John McCain. But the leading proposal being considered by the GOP is to shorten the convention by a day at least. "There's no doubt there will be significant changes" in the program, King said.
