Christie helped out Obozo just enough to close the gap
*********
Yes, while the storm was a major event that probably benefitted Obama to a small extent, the really damaging thing was the part that Christie played in allowing Obama to appear bi-partisan, a momentary impression that may have had an impact on voters. IMO Christie’s obsequious fawning was needlessly over-the-top.
“Christie helped out Obozo just enough to close the gap.”
That is definitely true. BUT:
The slobbering press photo-op with Fat Boy worked great on the day it was taken and the next day, but reality has now set in. People are suffering and no help is getting to them. People are realizing that a president coming to tour the disaster area is not in itself an answer to the problem. If ANYTHING, this demonstrates how unfairly Bush was treated by the press during Katrina. The polls are still reflecting the lame-stream slobbering, feel-good photo-op. The polls are about 2-3 days behind what the perceptions of Sandy really are.
I see momentum building in OH and PA and WI. The lame-stream wants to ignore the massive 30,000 crowds that Romney/Ryan are attracting, while at the same time Zero holds rallies in a barn to 3000.
Ignoring R and D: If you had to choose between which position you wanted your candidate to be in, which side do you suppose is going to win? Which side looks relaxed and confident, and which side looks desperate and is talking about ‘revenge’ voting?
