I’m 64 years old. Newsday has been the Democratic paper on Long Island for as long as I can remember.

” - - - Elected with a significant mandate and his party briefly in control of both houses of the Congress, Obama squandered the support of the nation.
Newsday endorses Romney.”

This is a brave Editor. True, he/she waited to endorse Romney with the minimum amount of time remaining for the commie/union/Mafia goons to come in and “persuade” Newsday to toe the party line.

This Editor is from the JFK wing of the once proud Democrat Party. The wing that gave our Nation the ringing goal of “Ask not what your Country can do for you [= need], ask rather what you can do [ability] for your Country.”

Fast forward to today and JFK’s statement is reversed, but they still call themselves Democrats.

What Benghazi-Coward Obama has done is to rob all dignity from his office, and rob our Country of Hope.

I credit the storms of Irene (14 months ago) and Sandy with part of Newsdays choice of support for Romney. Romney is a bean-counter. He loves data. He loves planning.

Irene came 14 months ago, flooded the lower parts of NYCity, BUT NO FEDERAL CHANGES WERE MADE before Sandy flooded the same areas, only more so.

Obama failed to plan, and thus he planned to fail.

I'm in my 40s. We were the only Republicans in our town when I was a kid. There was no Twitter or Free Republic of course. All we had was the newspaper and the evening network news; no cable. I guess we were almost like those Japanese soldiers stuck in a cave unaware WWII had ended.

When Reagan won, me and my parents were ecstatic but STUNNED as it unfolded that night.

I am doing everything I can to resist getting that feeling until I begin to see the same hopefully unfolding Tuesday night.

But it sure is tempting to start feeling that way.
