Kaine Campaign Swing Called Off Due To Hermine

September 1, 2016

With Florida bracing for Tropical Storm Hermine, Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Kaine has called off a campaign swing that was expected to include stops in Pensacola, Panama City and Jacksonville. Hermine, which was upgraded Wednesday afternoon from a tropical depression to a tropical storm, has caused Gov. Rick Scott to declare a state of emergency in 42 counties in North and Central Florida. The storm, which is in the Gulf of Mexico, is expected to hit the state late Thursday or early Friday. Kaine had been scheduled to campaign Thursday afternoon in Pensacola and Panama City before appearing Friday in Jacksonville.

    Seems right.
    After all the prez was too busy playing golf and being on vacation to visit our neighboring states during and in the aftermath of terrible recent flooding.
    Perhaps we’ll be so fortunate as to have him visit later and hold another
    NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Meeting.

    Guess we could nickname him ‘No Hurry-Kane’.
