McCain Cuts First Day Convention Activites Short, Paul Convo Still A Go
Posted on August 31, 2008 at 6:34 pmFrom the Hill:
Republicans will hold an abreviated “business only” convention meeting on Monday at John McCain’s request.
McCain announced Sunday that most activities will be suspended on the first day of the Republican National Convention so the country could focus on Hurricane Gustav.
“We will proceed with the convention tomorrow but it will be abriviated,” said Mike Miller, director of operations for the convention.
He said that delegates will meet to elect convention officiers, ratify rules and approve the party platform because they are critical to the nominating process.
The convention will open as scheduled at 3 p.m CT and will meet until approximately 5:30 p.m. CT. There will be no roll call of delegates.
