(Obama should change his campaign slogan to "Yes, we am!" Sounds as stupid as his administration is.)

Prayers to all of those affected by this storm. I'm surprised there aren't millions more without power, considering the density.
As in bad storms past, relief from other states for food, water, electrical repair, etc. is on the way.

Did you see the I don’t want to hear anymore about Sandy Thread in which some FReepers were posting about they really didn’t care how much damage and misery Sandy had done to the people of the NE, before the Mods pulled it?

Anyone else here concerned about the admittedly remote but apparently real possibility that the administration could use the hurricane as a pretext to declare a State of Emergency and postpone the elections?
Don't mean to minimize the damage (I live on the East Coast in the middle of Sandy's path) but it seems that the MSM is fixated on the hurricane as the single most disruptive event in our history. My concern is that the calculating current occupant of the WH, seeing his dwindling re-election chances, might take unprecedented steps that would "temporarily" postpone the elections.
And once that sacred threshold has been crossed, all bets are off as to what could follow. Amidst the chaos and the threat posed by "socially disruptive and possibly violent extremist factions" (such as Freepers), there will be calls for strong measures. What would prevent the institution of Martial Law?
One could easily imagine the MSM fully supporting such actions despite the lack of Constitutional authority, praising the President's leadership, assuring us that "present circumstances require decisive action," which is in fact being taken to "protect the democratic process."
Thoughts?

At home in bed with the power out and the wind blowing, a tree fell over and landed directly over the bedroom ceiling; luckily the roof held, or that would have been the end of Jack Hammer...

Next thing you know they’ll try to run for Senate and wonder why they lost.

Hope folks have been putting away food and water like I have suggested for the past 4+ years.And get on Homeland Security's prepper/terrorist watchlist? The Democrats are the only source of help for the masses... you know that!

They didn't hype the storm to postpone elections, but they did hype the storm to sell more soap powder and sell their Hero who heals the nation while the other guy only tears it down. Just wove it into the narrative, that's all.
