Santorum is the next Republican candidate; no cain, no Palin, no Bachman, actually its Gingrich, but what about the governor of Texas Perry? Ah @#$@# it, we'll go Romney.
Obama is leading in a landslide, Obama sleeps at first debate, Romney takes commanding lead according to some polls, other polls dictate that polls are worthless.
Seriously, is it just me or has pretty much all media just become nothing but a constant onslaught of campaigning? I mean, between 2008 and 2010 there was a lot accomplished by the federal government (of which some was good) but since it has been the Republicans trying to sabotage our country and TV/Radio/sides of roads have been covered with endless attack ads. This next week will be all kinds of stressful, but I praise the sweet baby Jesus that this is finally ending.

From what I gather, for a disaster like this, with mitt, there would be no federal disaster funding and NY State would be expected to put out the multi-hundreds of billions for recovery. Even if mitt can't change things that fast, he could slow up and low-ball recovery funds because NY is a big blue state.
