Chuck Todd this a.m.: Sandy is October Surprise

[The Blue Flower]

Who knew God had a fast one up Her sleeve?

1. Not that politics matters for this, but it will help Obama not Romney.

Obama will have a chance to show how he handles a disaster as president and all eyes and cameras will be on him as president.

Romney can do nothing but cancel rallies and sit on the sideline.

4. Not going to help if a bunch of Democratic states can't even vote.

[NYC Liberal]

8. But Democrats have been coming out in huge numbers for early voting.

So that might actually hurt Romney if he can't make up those votes on Election Day.

11. It doesn't matter if a Democratic

State wins by one vote or a million. Worst case scenario gives Romney a larger national percentage but he'd still lose the electoral college which is the only one that matters.

6. And if Election Day voting is down, doesn't that hurt Romney as well?

Considering that Obama is ahead in early voting?

A larger number of Obama's votes are already banked, whereas Romney needs a larger turnout on Election Day, yes?

7. I got the feeling that he realizes that. Even Joe was saying that a lot of credit accrues

to the President (except in the case of Katrina where he admitted Bush f*cked up).

[NYC Liberal]

9. Even Repub governors like Christie were giving PBO props and praise.

2. God's Punishment

Isn't it obvious? God is punishing the Christians for nominating a heathen Mormon.

[Satch59]

3. Thought the same thing...

And I can't stand him...he's always looking for gloom and doom for Obama but I think he sees it as a positive for him: he'll be the steady leader and have majority of news coverage so he will remind everyone why he needs to be relected!

5. Romney's dislike for FEMA can't be too helpful to his campaign.

10. What a douche n/t
