... even if you won't be seeing balloons anytime soon.
With Hurricane Gustav bearing down on the Gulf Coast, John McCain and the GOP have suspended Monday's convention festivities; depending on the damage, the suspension could extend through the rest of the week.
Still, our convention coverage continues. I'm boarding a plane for Minneapolis now; when I land, I'll post my thoughts on the politics of this unfortunate situation. Later, expect reports from NEWSWEEK's exclusive meetings with key Republican movers and shakers--including Mark McKinnon, Fred Thompson, Rick Davis, Tim Pawlenty and Mitt Romney. Should be a strange and fascinating week.
Thanks for reading,
