JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - John McCain says his campaign willannounce changes in the Republican Convention program because of
Hurricane Gustav.
The presidential candidate toured the emergency management
center today (Sunday) in Mississippi, a state that could be hit
hard by the approaching hurricane.
McCain told reporters: "I pledge that tomorrow night and if
necessary throughout our convention, we will act as Americans and
not as Republicans because America needs us now. No matter what we
are - Republican or Democratic - America needs us to do what all
Americans have always done in times of disaster and challenge."
The convention is chartering a DC-9 plane from St. Paul for any
delegates from Louisiana and Mississippi who want to return home,
Republican officials said.
