Republicans say they'll nominate Romney, despite potential storm
Aug-26-2012

Rain, wind and high water will not prevent Mitt Romney from becoming his party's official presidential nominee next week in Tampa, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee said Thursday as Tropical Storm Isaac churned its way through the Caribbean.
"We do have contingency plans to deal with weather related and other circumstances that may occur to ensure that the business can go on at the RNC and Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will become our nominees," RNC communications director Sean Spicer said on CNN's "Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien."

Spicer said that while the safety of delegates and others attending next week's Republican National Convention was paramount, the actual business of nominating Romney would not be delayed by bad weather.
"There is no such thing as canceling," Spicer said.
"In terms of the business of the RNC, the number one thing is obviously nominating - officially nominating - Mitt Romney as our presidential candidate and Paul Ryan as our vice presidential candidate," Spicer continued. "There are contingency plans in place and rules of the RNC in place that ensure that will always be able to occur."
Isaac's path is far from certain, though some computer models show the storm could pass up through Florida, including Tampa. Other models send it farther west, into the Gulf of Mexico.
