Wadhams supports curtailing RNC activities as Gustav hits Louisiana
By Jeremy Pelzer, PolitickerCO.com ReporterMINNEAPOLIS--The Republican National Convention has a shortened schedule Monday as Hurricane Gustav slams into Louisiana, and Colorado Republican Party Chair Dick Wadhams has no problem with that.
"I think it's appropriate. And I think we should continue to play this situation by ear," Wadhams said to PolitickerCO.com Monday morning. "Senator McCain has done the right thing in asking the convention to basically confine itself to official business right now. And we'll see how things go."
RNC officials have shortened Monday's convention schedule, canceling many speeches and conducting convention business only from 2:30 p.m. until 5 p.m.
Details about cancellations on Tuesday and beyond have not yet been announced as of Monday afternoon.

Quote of the Day
"With respect to Hank Eng's campaign, one of the problems with the campaign is that it started a little bit late and he wasn't able to get his name out; he wasn't able to get his message out and so nobody knew who he was. And that's something that I'm not going to allow to happen in my campaign."

Sir,
Saw Wadhams' performance today on MSNBC.
Folks like you are what drove me out of the GOP. I have voted Republican for 24 years, and in 2000 voted for McCain in the primary.
But watching Bush use a scumbag like Karl Rove gave me my first taste of what direction the GOP wanted to go in.
The party is run by folks like you cannot talk the issues. You can't simply say that Udall is wrong on X, Y, or Z; you have to say, "Boulder Liberal Mark Udall..."
Instead of talking the issues, you want to make up silly names and play silly games.
This is a center-right country. If the GOP had any integrity, you would win every single election, every single time.
So go ahead and play your games. Real conservatives like me will be on the sidelines, fingers crossed, hoping you get your act together before it's too late.
When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in a confederacy against him. —---Johnathan Swift
