If Tampa gets hit during the convention, I'll be waiting for Pat Robertson's reasoning on the matter. Since, according to him, natural disasters are always caused by horrid people who do horrid things, his reasoning for a bunch of wet republicans will be priceless.
On the downside, if the hurricane veers 3" or more either way and avoids a direct hit on the convention site, he will take full credit for the save, citing his incredible prayability.
So unless my atheist prayers are met fully, he is going to look pretty good to the blind on this one.
