Isaac may shut down the BIG show ....

Florida Gov. Rick Scott today sought to calm fears about a possible hurricane's threatening to close down the Republican National Convention next week in Tampa, telling reporters this afternoon that "right now there is not any anticipation there will be a cancellation." Republican Scott said it is "still too early" to know exactly where Tropical Storm Isaac, which is expected to intensify into a hurricane by Friday, will hit Florida and, thus, too early to make evacuation plans or call off the convention. By most predictions, bad weather looms ahead for Tampa next week as heavy rains and strong winds are likely to pound the city early Tuesday morning, less than 24 hours after the start of the Republican National Convention. Tropical Storm Isaac is heading along a western track, dumping rain on Puerto Rico this morning and swirling about 1,200 miles off the Florida coast as of 11 a.m., according to the National Hurricane Center. "The hope is this is going to go away, but if it doesn't, the convention is ready, the state is ready and the local communities are ready," Scott said.
