There is no reason why lib eastern coast states like Maryland (my state) cant hold the election a week from tomorrow, lib gov O Malley may have to give up some of his early voting due to this boo-hoo-hoo.
It is not clear from above. What if a state like Maryland doesn't actually hold an election by Nov 6? They just choose their own electors? In this case I would prefer that. IF the Dems in Maryland general assembly and lib gov Malley gave them to Obama directly rather than this farce of a state election it would make my day.
Our first black Santa Claus Obama says he will refund states any extra election costs for early voting dues to this storm. Wadda a guy, wadda Santa.
You think you hate O? That is nothing compared to what I feel for gov O Malley.
The answer is no, fear mongering aside. Actually the answer is “give me an effing break with this bull”. THEY WILL CANCEL THE ELECTION has been the nonsense refrain of malconents for ever. Libtards though Bush would cancel 2004, cancel 2008. People on our side thought Osama would cancel 2010. The Governor is not calling Osama with a pardon. NH, PA, VA, any Eastern state we want or need to win does not have the total rat control of the state leg and Governorship to pass election delaying legislation (if they were actually thinking about it seriously which they aren’t unless they are retarded).
If in the future a massive ‘cain hits ON election day that could delay it in a few states I guess like 9/11 delayed local NY elections (it was election day). Extremely low odds.
A better question is can Osama use this to steal the election by “shucking and jiving” with “statesman-like” disaster relief efforts and reminding us all how Bush “let Black people drown” in Dread Katrina or will entry of super boring hurricane news into the news cycle halt the momentum of the indomitable hopefully soon to be KING MITT.
Now if Osama loses 270-268 cause he loses NH by 50 votes and rats sue cause poor New Hampshirites were too busy wringing out their undies to vote it won’t matter either. Republicans do and will still have the House, the ultimate arbiter of any dispute over electors.
As as aside, you can’t name a hurrricane “Sandy”, give them mean sounding names for crap sake. Like “Michelle” or “Rosie O’Donnell”.
Better yet give them all Arabic names. ;p
Obama, occasionally I hate him, but not very often, thank God. O’Malley, however, I despise with a blue-hot loathing unlike any other I have felt before.
“Could a Hurricane Like Sandy Postpone the Presidential Election?”
I wouldn’t put anything past Obama to try it.
Actually, a ‘national’ election was cancelled in this country under a constitutional government. The Cherokee nation in the 1830’s, located then in N.E. Georgia, functioned under a constitutional government, almost identical to ours.
When Chief John Ross ( a MASTER, like Obama, at class warfare...HE split the tribe and it never healed) realized he could lose the next election, he called a state of emergency because of the impending Indian Removal Act and cancelled the election. He formed his ‘posse’ of “Pins’ from bribed and other corrupt Cherokee to carry out his proclamations and assassinate his oppositions. For 40 more years he served more as a dictatorial tyrant than an elected Chief.
And the Cherokee tribe STILL votes for tyrants like Obama.
