Does Sandy hurt Obama or Rmoney more?

[SCliberal091294]

Or will it have an equal effect?

1. It might have a slight affect on voting in the Northeast, which could hurt us just a bit.......

However, though, if Sandy does cause a huge problem, there may actually be a major opprotunity for Obama to point out that the Republicans ordered some steepish cuts to NOAA and the National Weather Service, and with that, there could be yet another series of nails in the RMoney/Lyin' campaign's coffin. And they're already floundering now!

4. Actually it could hurt us badly in Pa

16. Maybe to a point, but not to the point where Romney scores a win or anything.

Just trying to keep a realistic outlook on things, that's all.

19. I hope it isn't even an issue, but it could, especially with the chaos it potentially could

[AverageJoe90]

20. Not gonna cause a Romney win by itself in Pa., though. Not at this point.

However, I do believe it may be possible that they might choose this time to try to pull more voter-suppression antics though......they love taking advantage of stuff like this.

18. Dems need a big turnout in Phillie, and the power outage and flooding might be problems.

The only good thing is that this monster is expected to do bad things in central PA, too. The Susquehanna may flood.

Nonetheless, I hope that the campaign urges people to do early voting tomorrow, Sunday and Monday before this thing hits.

2. Obama is the president. Romney sits on the sideline

So Obama can dole out federal money to the affected states; Romney can either agree with that decision or oppose disaster aid to voters a week before an election.

I do think George Bush's sudden generosity to the state of Florida after Hurricane Andrew helped save that state for him 1992.

[AverageJoe90]

17. I don't expect RMoney to do the same, though.

GHW Bush, for all his many faults, wasn't all that bad when it came to this stuff. Mittens? I wouldn't put it past him to gaffe endlessly.

3. Without information I figure it's a wash.

It may slow down voter turnout, but equally. Doesn't affect electoral votes.

5. The election is not next week. The worst impact is that it will delay some early voters. nt

15. Dude, I was so worried until

I checked the calendar. Lol.

6. The Republicans will try to replay

Bush and Katrina.

[Motown_Johnny]

7. I think it will remind people of Katrina, most hurricanes do.

It could help.

8. Well the rural and suburbs are going to have power problems so that might hurt Romney more.

But in the end you just don't know yet.

9. Obama mostly. She's going to hit the blue states. But obviously that's God's will.

[JDPriestly]

10. It's probably going to affect Romney voters in the states on the coast the most.

Obama voters tend to live more in cities where getting to the polls is not likely to be affected so much.

[HopeHoops]

12. Let's hope.

[underpants]

11. Neither- Mother Nature is letting you know that she sent it a week early

[smirkymonkey]

13. I can pretty much roll out of bed and be at my voting place.

NOTHING will stop me from voting a straight Democratic ticket here in Boston.

14. Romney had to cancel an event in Virginia. Wonder if

the Romney campaign wishes it had sent Ryan to campaign there instead of having him doing whatever the hell he's doing in Alabama and Georgia?

Oh well.
