It’s Nov 2 and they’re still predicting it will take 10 to 14 days to restore power in Northern NJ & NYC, heavy democratic depositories. So continue to expect interference with the election.
Got an email from one of my client’s employees, she doesn’t expect power back at her house until November 9th (Northern NJ). She had to go to a relative’s house out of state and work remotely.
If anyone has a lingering impact from Sandy in PA, IMO it will be Romney - there are only 5,000 outages left in Philly and all transit is back up. Still hundreds of thousands without power statewise, and the last to get restored (and it will take until after next Tuesday to get them all restored) will be the most remote. In other words, folks from the redder parts of the state, with the possible exception of the Poconos, which has become Baja NYC full of commuters. But I don’t think the impact will be significant, but if the race is close, it could be critical.
