After Hurricane Gustav wreaked havoc on the opening night of the RNC on Monday, the McCain Campaign have apparently got a new obstacle to face - the opening game of the NFL between the Redskins and the Giants.

The game's scheduled to kick-off at 1907 Eastern Time, meaning if it finishes within its 3 hour allotted slot then McCain and co. should be fine. However, should the game have extended overtime or 'an unusual number of disputed calls or injuries' then RNC's 'paramount moment,' John McCain's acceptance speech, might have a little bit more competition.

    Pretty funny.

    If it was broadcast on Fox instead of NBC, then there would be some really interesting choices to be made.

    Anyway McCain doesn't like Redskins, Giants, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, and anything other than white people anyway.

    the most important night happened yesterday for the party and for all the people who were mildly interested in the rnc campaign. I doubt a lot people will pay that much attention to his speech.

    Hilarious. I'd watch competitive grass-growing before I watch the snooze fest of Whacky Mac.

    Get real, I'm sure they're happy as hell alot of people WILL NOT get to hear McLame. Think about all the gaffs he's made speaking to reporters already. (Remember Joe LIEberman whispering correct answers in his ear during press conferences?) He may be in training with tonight's speech, but he also has many senior moments.

    Let McCain speak. This is no better than when the preacher prayed for rain on Obama's big night.

    You see how that backfired (Gustav)

    I'm hoping it ends in time and McCain has an opportunity to deliver his speech.

    That's the beauty of democracy.

    I'll give them the hurricane, they couldn't have predicted that but the NFL schedule was done well in advance. Did no one see a scheduling issue there. If these guys can't even schedule a convention without conflict how do they plan to run a country?

    for once, Im starting to like the NFL. make sure they do a good game and make overtime.

    or McCain can always make his speech on the streets were the protesters are.

    This is exactly what is wrong with things today. I'm an Obama supporter, but this is silly!

    Since when does anything else on TV have priority over politics that concern the selection of our next president? First things first people!

    Why aren't the two events on two separate channels to avoid this scheduling conflict?
