To borrow a line from Pastor John Hagee, who you might remember said in 2006 (referring to Hurricane Katrina and homosexuals) "I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they were recipients of the judgment of God for that", it now appears that God does not want Republicans to win by sending Gustav barreling towards New Orleans during their convention. The Republicans have discussed rescheduling their convention (no small feat) and Bush and others have considered not attending, but it does not matter if they go with business as usual or not. The damage of Katrina has been done and nobody will forget how badly the Administration botched the job.
If they cancel the convention, it shows that they are embarrassed by Katrina. If they go through with the event, they will surely mention New Orleans throughout their convention, but this will only open old wounds. Already, the news is covering Hurricane Gustav regularly, which must be a nightmare for them on the eve of convention and on the weekend of VP announcement. Oh well, God works in mysterious ways.
FYI, Pastor John Hagee has endorsed McCain, although McCain has rejected the endorsement.
UPDATE: Looks like the DNC took my joking play on Gustav and Hagee seriously, Ooops:
