Maybe Bloomberg is afraid that cancelling the race might draw too much national attention to the extent of the disaster and the slow response and thereby have a negative effect on Obama.
I guess the Death Panels decided that some people are more equal than others and decided that the New York Marathon and the main stream media that is covering it is more important than saving some old people’s lives.
And considering this is NEW YORK CITY, natural disasters like this jsut don't happen in the northeast, the coverage should be even more intense. Compare this to the media on Bush after Katrina.
On the other hand, with the heavily democrat and cheating-stronghold precincts under water and the people too busy digging out to vote, maybe the state will break for Romney.
