I think this storm is going to help Obama (Vanity)

[rurgan]

Right now “Hurricane” sandy takes Bengazi off of DRudge and the news . Most of data and forecasts are from NOAA an Obama government agency. you all do the math. I’ve researched hurricanes for decades here in new orleans. I’d bet everything that this NOAA gov agency is faking these wind speeds 75 mph sustained winds non-changing to barely qualify it as a hurricane( fake to get Benghazi off of news)

Never seen a storm be exactly 75 mph sustained winds and non-changing. funny that is just barely over the speed that qualifies it as a hurricane at the time Obama needs it most. All this is fake forecasts and done by Obama gov agency. This is not the storm of the century and it will be a joke.These forecasts by an Obama gov agency just meant to take bengazi off the news and off of drudge as they have done. help spread the word. they faked the unemployment (we all agree on that)> But trust me I’ve been researching hurricanes for decades as I live here in New orleans. I can tell these forecasts are fake and the media is hyping this to the extreme all to take bengazi off of the news.

It’s going to hit the liberal lunatic northeast. Besides, conservatives are all on the same page. This is a MUST VOTE election!

Since the storm will be over fully 1 week before election day it should have no bearing at all.

However to the extent it does have an effect it will serve to depress the turnout of those LESS MOTIVATED TO VOTE. In this case the Left.

And I agree with previous poster regarding your seeming to be searching for reasons to worry.

A storm of this magnitude hitting the bluest section of our country is bad? How? The expected impact area is from D.C. to Boston. It could be very good for us and U.S.

Dems are lazy losers. Bad weather they’ll stay in.

"Rain is counterrevolutionary."

A quote from Ann Coulter's book, "Demonic." I don't remember who made it.

I think Obama is trying to figure out a way to get this storm to help him, since he's cancelled a campaign rally to monitor it. At this point every decision he makes is based on whether or not it can help get him re-elected.

I don't think he'll find a way to do it, though.

I can see the dims making trouble over this storm. Like demanding a do-over if they lose since “people were not able to get to the polls”. Or maybe even a delay in election day which helps their early voting machine.

You can always count on these Alinskyites to use the full bag dirty tricks. I hope Romney is ready for it.

[Alberta's Child]

Dude — the storm is going to be gone almost a week before Election Day.

[jq2]

They are going to make sure the power is out for large sections of the northeast up until Election Day...

[Steelfish]

NY might go to Romney

[Mustard]

I think if they loose power for one minute the left will be screaming to extended elections into December.

This is a hurricane merging with a northeaster +snow fall. You’re right it’s not a normal hurricane, it’s a snowicane. We had one in March 1993. They can cripple the region.

I do agree that the media hypes storms. Let’s just hope it dies down or is minimal once it hits and hoping that for political reasons. The American people have seen these storms before and know how to take care of themselves (as you must know being in LA)

[chopperman]

I think we need and can get PA. Its also in the path.

My guess is urban vote suppression would be more likely, thereby hurting the big Zip. Unfortunately, it might provide an excuse for him to exercise more unconstitutional Executive Powers.

[tomkat]

Imho, your surmise is incorrect.

Having said that:

[DJ Taylor]

What do I think?

I think the absentee ballot will win this election for Obama with or without any help from “Sandy.”

An Obama government agency NOAA is the lone source of most of this data and forecasts for this “Hurricane” sandy. this sandy now takes Benghazi gate off of the news and even off of drudge top headlines. the media is running with this fake data and forecast and saying this is the storm of the century. Storm will be nothing. you need 74 mph plus to call something a hurricane. funny how this NOAA says it is 75 and hasn't changed for days now, just barely what is needed to call this a hurricane and at the right time to take Benghazi off of drudge and the news by an Obama agency( color me skeptical

[SamAdams76]

First of all, this storm has been way over-hyped by the media. For most people on the East Coast, it's going to amount to little more than a wind-driven rainstorm. We get those several times a year here in New England - we call them northeasters.

Secondly, the election is a week from Tuesday and this storm will be a distant memory by then. Impact of this storm on the election = nil.
