Duck and cover = Perfect Storm a comin'

Meh, doesn't bother me, I don't actually care who wins. The only difference I can see between Obama and Romney is Romney occasionally has a darker tan.

Only when he's trying to appeal to latin-american voters.

Yes, which is the reason why he did. And it's the reason his campaign made sure that plenty was donated for the cameras.

This is so laughable.

I mean - he had cameras there. Were there a shortage of cameras following Obama around for his photo ops? Did he actually DO anything when he "surveyed the damage?" Of course not. Anything he did there, he could have done from the White House or anywhere else.

Of course they both had cameras rolling - they want the coverage and favorable press. I give them both credit for also wanting to help, though.

10% humanitarian, 90% inappropriate campaigning.

That's the polls.

Obama would never try to appeal to a segment of the population by doing anything like that...

Second storm to hit the North East

On top of all of the damage and power outages caused by Hurricane Sandy, the Weather Channel is warning that a nor’easter bound storm may be bound for New England.
The storm could hit as early as Election Day, according to a preliminary forecast from the National Weather Service.
A storm on top of a storm is definitely not a good thing and the Weather Channel stated, “At this time it looks as though coastal impacts would be farther north along the New England coast than we saw with Sandy. Snowfall would be confined to northern New England.”
So basically, areas that weren’t hit as hard by Sandy might be victim to this upcoming storm.

Storm Sandy: Cuomo and Bloomberg warn on NY housing

Tens of thousands of people in New York state left homeless by storm Sandy could soon need housing as cold weather closes in, the state governor and the mayor of New York City have warned.

There may be as many as 30,000-40,000 people "we have to find housing for", Mayor Michael Bloomberg has said.

State governor Andrew Cuomo said fuel shortages were improving.

At least 106 US deaths - 40 of them in New York City - have been blamed on Sandy, which struck on 29 October.

Mr Cuomo told a news conference on Sunday it would become "increasingly clear" that homes without heat were uninhabitable as temperatures fell.

The plan was to use a handcrank to slowly turn the 45-ton crane and the dangling boom below until it faced the building, an operation that was to take many hours. But the crane moved much faster than expected, and by 9 a.m. workers could be seen weaving steel cables through the boom and around thick concrete columns.

That gets it secure while they figure out what to do with it. The structural engineer for the building is probably not entirely happy with this, and I suspect s/he was under enormous pressure to say it would be okay.
