The GOP’s likely presidential nominee John McCain and running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin spent just shy of two hours in Rankin County today.
Gov. Haley Barbour invited McCain, McCain’s wife, Cindy, and Palin to tour Mississippi Emergency Management’s Emergency Operations Center. The three were briefed on the preparations for Hurricane Gustav.
At the EOC, the group participated in a conference call with the National Weather Service and President Bush.
During a press conference after the briefing, McCain said some of the programs for the Republican National Convention would be changed because of the approaching storm.
The Republican Party plans to announce the schedule changes this afternoon.
