This should calm some nerves that Zero is planning on cancelling the election.

A week is a long time. Things will be back to normal by then.
To: usafa92
Besides, doesn’t a new date require the GOP-controlled House to approve? Also, most of the states affected by the hurricane would go blue regardless.

Very interesting... If NJ — the place that took the worst of the storm — can hold their elections on time, it will shame everyone else into doing likewise.

Thankfully this decision is left to the states. Although I am certain that, if necessary, Hussein (or the media who are equally powerful)could find a way to make it possible.

If they think the damage from Sandy was something, wait until all the Democrats who have threatened to riot and “burn this m_f_er down!” start up.

If NJ the place that took the worst of the storm can hold their elections on time, it will shame everyone else into doing likewise.Precisely. Christie has to glad-hand Obama because that's where the money and FEMA assistance come from. But it's important for him to get one step ahead of this issue to pre-empt Obama, Congress and the Democrat-dominated New Jersey Legislature from even considering a move to postpone. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Good chess move on Christie's part.

Doesn’t matter, NJ is solid blue. They could delay the election for weeks and it wouldn’t matter.

no matter how you do it....even if it's a paper ballot into a box with a hole...It MUST be "done" on that day per the Constitution.
Why do people pretend this can't be done. There is such a thing as generators. Geeeez....
To: O6ret; Publius
As Publius commented, it’s establishing the precedent and not allowing the Dems to plant the seed and draw this out...

Cuomo is probably a sleeze and he did say bammey was "kind"to send in help right away to NY but he did say that NY will be NY...that NY was NOT its subways...I liked the attitude...
and like Rush said, are we such a banana republic that a storm...yes, a big one...can derail America into stopping elections?...

Went back to my town this evening, in one of the hardest-hit areas of the Raritan Bay. Power is out, flood has receded. Insurance vans are driving around taking claims, police and fire are out directing traffic and clearing fallen trees/telephone poles. People are lined up at gas stations filling up cans and tanks, neighbors are pumping out basements.
Everything is orderly - there is no chance the same people will not be lined up at the polls a week from today, or that the polls will not be operating.

People who want to vote will find a way to get there. I would crawl 5 miles through broken glass naked to vote for Mitt Romney after 4 years of the Muslim.

Dependably blue? Yes. Solid blue? Bush got 47% vs. Kerry in 2004.
If Newark wasn't around, the GOP would carry every election.
NJ is not NY, RI, DE or MA.

Do you think that people who claim the flood washed away all their personal ID’s will get a ‘special waiver’ to vote?

That’s only because Kerry is such a dork that it’s even hard for Dems to like him.
As for Newark, the same can be said of PA re: Philly and Pittsburgh.
