As Tropical Storm Isaac inches closer and closer to the Florida coast, Republican National Convention organizers are debating cancelling all of Monday's events and spreading them across the other four days.
Politico's Alexander Burns and Maggie Haberman report organizers are feeling a little skittish about the approaching storm and they're thinking about delaying the start of the convention. No decision has been made, but we should know by Sunday morning if things will be delayed.
Earlier Saturday afternoon, Florida Governor Rick Scott declared a state of emergency. It's now being reported that Scott is pulling out of all of his convention commitments in order to attend to any damage Isaac may cause. Joe Biden also cancelled his scheduled trip to Tampa so authorities could better focus their efforts on recovery.
