The irony is that the storm ridden areas of the North east have people miserable. Miserable people vote for change. All that hard planning and effort Obama and his handlers have spent remaining visible, only work to remind people what they want change from. Obama.
The irony is the voters now underwater are... Obama voters!
Go figure.
bttt new tagline too
Even Sandy now has become Obama’s “Katrina”. Stick a fork, Obama is finished.
Amazing he has not yet blamed Sandy on GWB.

“Nate Silver predicts that there is a 87.342% chance . . . “
Anybody who actually publishes a prediction to 5 significant figures has no real understanding of what numbers mean, and as a corollary, I suspect, has little idea how to actually use them.
So whether his data actually justify an 87% probability, or a roughly 90% probability, I’d guess they are, like his presentation of them, impressive looking, but largely a product of fundamental ignorance.
