No party for GOP

Nature and politics are serving to tone down the Republican National Convention this week.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is among the no shows -- he is staying in

Also, because of Hurricane Gustav, Sen. John McCain has ordered a toned down event, devoted to the business of the party and little on other else.
A full release of the GOP's plans, as they stand as of Sunday afternoon, follows.
