Vice President Joe Biden on Friday postponed a campaign trip to Tampa, Florida that had been scheduled for next week on the same day as Republicans open their presidential nominating convention in the city.
An Obama campaign announcement said Biden will not attend events on Monday in Tampa, where the Republican National Convention is being held, due to security concerns.
The campaign said it wants to ensure that all emergency resources are focused on Tropical Storm Isaac, which could impact Florida during the convention.
"This change in schedule is being taken out of an abundance of caution to ensure that all local law enforcement and emergency management resources can stay focused," the campaign said in a press release.
President Barack Obama captured Florida when he won the White House in 2008, but Republicans want their week-long convention to boost their profile in the key battleground state.
The campaign announcement did not detail which events Biden will keep on his schedule later in the week. He is scheduled to be in Orlando and St. Augustine, Florida on Tuesday.

OccuPoopers don't like OccuPooping in the rain: it's too much like a shower. (I hope Tampa PD stock soap and shampoo next to the water cannon, otherwise the FEMA camp they send these 'tards to isn't going to be approachable by normal people without Level 4 MOPP gear.) That being the case, Plugs can't count on his target audience (the only people on a planet who can breathe consistently without kommisars reminding them, and yet are still more stupid than Plugs is) being there, and therefore has nobody to rally to the pResident's cause incite into rioting. :cheers1:

He finally got the message to sink in.

Romney doesn't care about the people or they would cancel the convention so law enforcement would be able to focus on dangers from the hurricane. (New DNC talking point)
