the storm and the presidential election
the storm has brought great opportunity for both candidates and so far the president has handled it very well -- correctly saying that the election can take care of itself and taking charge in a forceful way. romney by contrast has looked foolish collecting some silly cans and looking for photo opps. his prior comments about FEMA and disaster relief have brought the candidates and their differences into sharp focus and not in a way beneficial to romney. that combined with the missteps on jeep should have normally sealed his fate, but this is a tough election season. we'll see.

Re: the storm and the presidential election
The polls are headed in the wrong direction for Romney. Ohio had Obama with a 1.9% lead on RCP polling average yesterday, today it is 2.4%. Viriginia was a tie yesterday, today it is at 0.3% for Obama, with the latest Quinnipiac poll showing him 2% ahead. Romney's Florida lead fell from 1.3% yesterday to 1.0% today. And Nate Silver has Obama's likelihood of winning at 77% -- highest it has been in a couple of weeks.
At this stage, very few people are undecided. They are undecided because they don't like the economy and don't want four more years of sluggish job growth, but they are also not sure they can quite trust Romney to fix it. Michael Brown reminding people of the GOP model for disaster management, along with Romney 3.0's severely conservative comments on FEMA, will also hold back some voters from getting over the trust barrier with Romney 4.0.

One picture - Dukakis wearing a helmet and posing from an M1A1 - looked so idiotic it dragged him down from his 17 point lead over Bush, Sr.
A few pictures of Romney with street cans or helping a dog from drowning will sure bring back memories to people and drag him down more than the first debate did to Obama.

Sandy has brought opportunity for Obama, more chances of looking good or bad than Romney. Obama knows this and is playing it well.
Romney can either make his chances worse or watch from sidelines. The most Romney can do is to raise donations for the effected by Sandy.

I'm sorry and deeply apologize. From now on, I'll try to be less northindian in my posts...
...and will show more traits of a southindian, i.e. being arrogant, sarcastic and cynical.
Will that be OK?

Re: the storm and the presidential election
Also, please focus on minor and irrelevant errors in posts, like spelling, pronunciation and grammar, instead of the substance. That's a pretty important characteristic we all need to learn.southindian wrote:Jeremiah Mburuburu wrote:100 times:southindian wrote:The most Romney can do is to raise donations for the effected by Sandy.
