Will Obama gain political ground from Sandy?

Posted on 10/29/2012 8:49:20 PM PDT by tsowellfan

As the president ended his briefing on Hurricane Sandy in the White House Situation Room and delivered a statement to reporters in the James Brady Briefing Room, the obvious question among press and pundits was, will his management of the disaster now wracking the northeast pay political dividends?

“I am not worried at this point about the impact on the election,” said Obama in his reply to the one question he took in the Briefing Room from CBS News’ Bill Plante, “ I’m worried about the impact on families, and I’m worried about the impact on our first responders. I’m worried about the impact on our economy and on transportation...

Right now, Gallup looks better for Romney than Rasmussen, my favorite.
Actually the race has tightened so that there is no wiggle room for error, and the must win states are absolutely “must wins”, for both candidates. Thought their would be more than a two pointer, or much more of a trend appearing going by this time. Obama has definitely stopped the bleeding.

I am shocked, with Ghazigate gaining traction, that his dang approval number is now at 49 on Ras! One more point and he finally breaks 50 at Ras.

Nailbiter to the end? Unbelievable.

If they’re going to extend voting, maybe they can replace the absentee ballots that crashed and burned on the way to Afghanistan, and get ballots to the fleet that left Virginia Beach in advance of the storm. Clinton sent out the fleet in 1992 with no reason, and our sailors were denied the vote.

I started a thread on it.

Most on here didn’t seem to think it was a big deal.

Why don’t you grow up, get some new material and just let the adults in the room discuss reality if it skeers you too much. Besides, “your mom’s computer” allusion is ions old, tired and unimaginative.

I’m thinking like you, that this storm will delay the election because the power won’t be up and running for everyone and/or they’ll extend voting, give out provisional ballots, whatever it takes. I’m paranoid, I live in Washington State, the blue print of ballot manipulation.

No, it is not going to be a 'nailbiter', Romney is above the 50% mark in the popular vote and Obama can't crack 47%.

Romney will win this easily.

Same here.... hopefully the timing will effect just the spirit and attitude of those Obama voters but not them physically being able to get to the polls so they won't use it as a excuse to extend voting.
It's one thing being demoralize, it's another not being able to physically get to the polls to vote.
Many will be tired or to bummed out to vote but the roads will be open, cars can still move about.

It depends on how fast he can pour more federal money out to the moochers.

Disguised as emergency aid, of course.

It’s all Bush’s fault.

Yup, before the week's over Obama will somehow tie it to Bush as he does everything else that happens.
