Panic? Tampa Mayor Willing to Cancel RNC Convention

There is a hurricane barreling toward Florida and no, its name isn't Todd Akin. Hurricane Isaac has the potential to cancel the RNC convention according to Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn.

Tampa’s mayor warns that the Republican National Convention could be canceled if Tropical Storm Isaac heads for the city.

Mayor Bob Buckhorn told CNN that he is more concerned about the safety of his people than holding the convention.

“Absolutely we’re prepared to call it off,” Buckhorn explained to CNN. “I mean, human safety and human life trumps politics. I think the RNC recognizes that.”
