> Matt Frei is braving the weather in Tampa, Florida, where Tropical Storm Isaac has delayed the start of the Republican National Convention. The inclement conditions haven't stopped the most ardent tea party supporters from turning up – even if Mitt Romney wishes they would all just shut up for this week at least. They don't much like him and he doesn't like the extreme image they give to his party. Yet they have got to find a way to get along, at least until November. Matt's been talking to the fundamentalist wing of the GOP to see how much help they are prepared to give to a candidate they don't think represents their brand of Republicanism.
> Right wingers in American have an old habit of blaming adverse metrological events on the un-Christian behaviour of the people who suffer the effects (Hurricane Katrina was meant to be punishment both for abortion and homosexuality). So some cheeky liberals in the US are stating to ask if Isaac is some kind of divine punishment for the Grand Old Party. Maybe the Almighty is furious about the story that House Republicans have been drunken skinny dipping in the Sea of Galilee on a congressional trip to Israel.
