Obama is getting a small surge from indies because of Sandy.

Agreed. And here's what I think. And I know about as much historically and politically as anyone else.

But the Sandy bump was quite small (I mean the race is still tied), and come the weekend, when Romney hammers home the facts and figures relative to the economy (i.e. unemployment rate is 7.9%, and higher than it was $6 trillion dollars and 4 years ago), and as the NY/NJ corridor gets more frustrated with lack of FEMA help, and Lybia drips out even more... I think the race tilts towards Romney on Monday, and he wins by 3-4 points as I predicted last week.

That's just my opinion. I know many, as did I, wanted a blowout/preference cascade type election (and we were getting there pre-Sandy) but we are in a heck of a lot better position today than we were 4 years ago (down anywhere from 6-13 points nationally).

It's deadlocked. We can win this thing. Fingers crossed and many prayers.

Pollsters are all counting on a huge Dem turnout (anywhere from +5 to +9). Early voting indicates it is not gonna happen. Obama’s early voting numbers are way below 2008 across the board. When people vote Tuesday the last things that will go through their minds will be jobs, debt, gas etc. Not Sandy.
