GOP Convention Back on Track -- With Changes The Republican National Convention will resume tonight with President Bush, former Sen. Fred Thompson (Tenn.) and Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) scheduled to address the delegates. Bush was originally scheduled to speak to the convention in person on Monday, a speech canceled as Hurricane Gustav threatened the Gulf Coast. His speech tonight will be closely watched as his unpopularity in the country at large poses a major political risk for McCain. Any strong endorsement from Bush would likely hurt McCain more than it would help him. Lieberman, the Democrat turned Independent, appears to have been the runner up in the vice presidential sweepstakes. He and McCain are longtime friends and the Connecticut senator's advocacy for the Republican's campaign has alienated him from his former party. Thompson is another close friend of McCain, a friendship tested but not broken during the Tennessee senator's abbreviated run for president earlier this year. Another former presidential candidate -- former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani -- will not deliver the keynote address tonight as was originally planned, but is likely to be rescheduled. voices.washingtonpost.com
