Kaufer at the convention

Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele is looking like a genius for scheduling the Republican National Convention in Florida during hurricane season. The storm has missed Tampa probably because Pat Robertson prayed it away but is headed right for New Orleans as the 7th anniversary of Katrina approaches. They already cancelled Monday's activities and might have to cut the whole thing short.

120th Republican HD candidate Aaron Kaufer is in Tampa and is writing up his experience for the Times Leader. So far he reports that Chris Christie disappointed him and Lou Barletta was greeted like a rock star. Governor Tom Corbett and PA House Speaker Sam Smith are also attending. Surprisingly there is a dust up about abortion after the Aiken comments and PA Senate candidate Tom Smith equating having a baby out of wedlock to rape.

No word if Phyllis Mundy will be reporting from Charlotte.
