A Convention Suddenly Turns Into Something Very Different

President Bush and Vice President Cheney will not speak. The Louisiana delegation is being flown home. Fundraisers are being turned into charity events. Network anchors are flying South. All Monday speeches have been canceled, leaving only formal Republican National Committee business on the program. John McCain has ordered substantial changes to the program for the rest of the week.  The primetime TV hours will include coverage of both the RNC and the hurricane.
