Will V-P Cheney travel to Minneapolis-St. Paul convention to give Bush's speech?

Question

BREAKING NEWS: Pres. Bush will not speak to the Republican Political Party convention to nominate the McCain-Palin ticket due to concerns of the approach of Hurricane Gustav on Monday night. . .Will Bush & Cheney instead offer a video link-up and wave at the delegates from an "undisclosed location"?

Answer 1

Interesting I have lived within 10 miles of St.Paul,MN my whole life and we have never been hit with a Hurricane.

Answer 2

Nope - - here's the latest from Chris Cilliza of WASH. POST online

"Bush and Cheney canceled the scheduled appearances because of the Hurricane Gustav, which appears to be on a collision course with the Gulf Coast. According to the Associated Press, Bush might reschedule his appearance for later this week but Cheney is leaving on a four day foreign trip starting Tuesday that seems to preclude him from making a stop at the convention.

The absence of the two most visible -- and controversial -- members of the Bush Administration is seen as a blessing by nearly every Republican not directly tied to the president."
