Will the GOP Convention actually happen? That's the question that's on my mind as I watch the cable news from my hotel room in Eagan, Minnesota just a "tad" outside of Minneapolis - St. Paul (or MSP as I now call it).

We know the that the political portion of tomorrow's program has been canceled and that President Bush and VP Cheney won't be coming to MSP on Monday. The rest of the week's schedule is up in the air and we'll find out about Tuesday's schedule by noon on Monday.

Personally, I'm predicting that the convention will be be back to normal come Tuesday - it looks like Gustav will miss New Orleans and the storm won't be nearly as strong as Katrina was three years ago.

Aside from Gustav, one of the big stories surrounding the convention is just how tech-savvy the event plans to be - and the media has been picking up on the story - for more check out the articles below, David and I are quoted in each respectively.

Convention's cacophony of voices will include blogs, vlogs, tweets and phlogs, MinnPost.com.

As happens during any convention or conference - people's twittering kicks into overdrive. As others have noted, I think Twitter is at its best for these large events, lots of people in the same venue each sharing their own unique perspective on the proceedings.
