#1 "Gustav minght rain on McCain parade

Or not.

"John McCain and the GOP are considering scrapping political speeches and turning their St. Paul/Minneapolis convention into a "service" program to help victims of Storm Gustav, The Post has learned.

Sources told The Post that McCain himself might visit the Gulf Coast during the week of the Republican National Convention, which begins Monday. McCain is not scheduled to make his nomination speech until Thursday.

The contingency plan a worst case scenario if the storm devastates coastal areas would turn Republicans into Red Cross-type volunteers who would help collect donations, food and goods to help storm victims.

McCain - whose campaign motto is "Country First" said helping people during an emergency will take precedence over accepting his GOP nomination for president."

TAKE THAT, OBAMANAUTS!
