Disagree. The Katrina meme too weeks to develop and was helped by the fact Mayor Nagin trapped 100K of his citizens inside a sports arena. Also, Katrina’s disaster was not the storm itself but the later breaking of the levees which caused the massive flooding.

Ultimately, Katrina wasn’t THE issue that hurt Bush and the GOP but rather a combination of that, Iraq, and the botching of Soc Sec reform/privatization.

Today, people are likely set on their vote unless Romney does or says something completely inappropriate (unlikely. He’s campaigning like a disciplined SEAL right now).

Obama walks a tight line too b/c he has to be President of the United States, not President of the Democratic Party. He hasn’t played the former role with ease lately.

I can tell that you, like most FReepers pay attention to the news and politics, but we are a very small percentage of the electorate..

I have the advantage of having lots of twentysometins, and old fools like me, around me every day, and they, for the most part are wonderful people, but clueless about Facts!

Every day, I cook for my grandkids, and all of their friends, as well as my older neighbors, and I shy away from confrontation for the most part (SMIRK) but it would floor you in what they think and believe.. YIKES!
