Unless I misunderstood, Mittens cancelled his events today too after the President cancelled that Florida event.

It might hurt Willard more in that the news is about this super storm, not the election. That is a day, maybe two at the least lost National TV coverage for him. Who'll be on TV alot? The President, a perk of incumbency. (Think of people's paternal reactions to national emergencies.) After Katrina, no President or national candidate ever wants to be accused of not doing enough or be seen as not being actively involved enough with any hurricane or such disasters. And Willard can't really complain otherwise he'll be criticized for politicizing a natural disaster. It's a media narrative neither side can dictate or control.

This can't be side about their proxys. Like this religious yahoo from the right-wing:

Sandy is God punishing America

So you agree with me that Romney could benefit from the storm?

"God will punish the Northeastern states for allowing homosexuality"

Honestly this storm has nothing to do with the election. It has nothing to do with Obama or Romney, and the states it's hitting are in Obama's pocket anyway.

People have made up their minds at this point. It's all about who shows up on voting day.

Wow. This could be a close, but divisive election.

I'm not from the US so have no idea if ABC is biased but if that's true it's terrible news for Obama considering how liberal Pennsylvania is supposed to be .

There is difference between voting Democrat and being Liberal. PA is very conservative in lifestyle and lots of NRA members.

Wow. This could be a close, but divisive election.

Christ I hate these religious nuts. Ah well, you had to figure it was bound to happen. "God will punish the Northeastern states for allowing homosexuality" Tickles my funny bone actually

I know I said I would quit, but can the local factbusters verify whether its true Romney only called the GOP Governors affected by Sandy?

With this reality we live in, I can't tell what's obviously false or true anymore.

EDIT - one right-wing tweet conspiracy I'm reading this morning is Christie is trying to sabotage Romney so this would open up a '16 bid for himself.

Although I usually think of Governor Christie as an arrogant blowhard, his handling of the crisis has been exemplary, and his praise of President Obama was surprisingly gracious.

Disagree with some of that chart by abc news. Florida and Colorado are definitely Romney at this point. But it's true at this point everything else is a toss up

In regards to that: Did you see the clips of reporters asking Mitt over and over again about Fema and if he'd get rid of it. The guy totally ignores them and keeps right on walking.

Mitt's all about pleasing the crowd he happens to be with at the time.


TIS

Michael "Brownie" Brown is the one person Willard doesn't want publicly criticizing another President on how to respond to a Hurricane. What's next, Jerry Sandusky attacking a youth athletics program?

You're not doing a heck of a job, Brownie.

Instead of doing a campaign rally disguised as a charity event (with banners and press passes still calling this a "Victory Rally"), why didn't he just stay home for one day and I dunno, donate a million bucks to the Red Cross? And what do you know, he's back out campaigning tomorrow in Florida. (Huh, I thuoght he had that state won. What gives Skinny?)

Ah, Skinny will defend Willard, including not even calling the Democratic Governors of the states going through this mess and how FEMA really is getting in the way of recovery. And that Cristie is evil or something. Whatever his sources will tell him tonight, tomorrow.
