TAMPA, FL. — The clouds are overcast, the wind starting to pick up on Sunday morning as Isaac — now more likely a tropical storm than a hurricane— already chopped a day off the Republican convention. Convention planners today are scrambling to redo the schedule to pack four days of speakers into three, starting on Tuesday. The worst of the storm is expected on Monday. http://suntm.es/QiugTU
