Romney Ceases Fundraising in Hurricane Sandy StatesBy Katrina TrinkoOctober 29, 2012 9:27 A.M.Comments0The Romney campaign has ceased sending fundraising e-mails to D.C., New York, Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The campaign is also collecting supplies to deliver to those affected by the hurricane in some states, and in Virginia, will be deploying the campaign bus to deliver supplies. Mitt Romney also sent out this e-mail (headline: “Please take careâ€) to supporters last night: Tonight, Ann and I are keeping the people in Hurricane Sandy’s path in our thoughts and prayers. I hope that if you can, you’ll reach out to your neighbors who may need help getting ready for the storm — especially your elderly neighbors. And if you can give of your resources or time, please consider supporting your local Red Cross organization — visit www.redcross.org to get involved. For safety’s sake, as you and your family prepare for the storm, please be sure to bring any yard signs inside. In high winds they can be dangerous, and cause damage to homes and property. I’m never prouder of America than when I see how we pull together in a crisis. There’s nothing that we can’t handle when we stand together. Stay safe and God Bless, Mitt Romney
That sure sounds a lot more presidential than:SPIN? Obama campaign fears impact of Hurricane Sandy...http://www.france24.com/en/20121028-obama-campaign-fears-impact-hurricane-sandy
There are 9 days before the election...and 9 more days for early voting...WHAT,,,they don't have enough time to get to the polls before then?
**********BREAKING NEWS November 1, 2012***********President Barrack Obama acting on behalf of the DNC has ordered Eric Holder to sue several States in the North East to delay the National Election due to hurricane Sandy.Mr. Obama has indicated that wide spread power outages across large portions of the North East will cause significant voter disenfranchisement.I could almost wouldn't put it past him to try something like this.
How can they change election day? It's constitutionally mandated to be on a specific day? Come to think of it, doesn't allowing early voting violate that?
They were just discussing this on the Neal Boortz show....They said there is nothing in to Constitution to allow extending voting, but the individual states could extend the voting times.
The Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States.
For example, today, in Florida, former president Bill Clinton is campaigning on behalf of Obama, and already he's equating Sandy to what Americans will face should Romney win: "We’re coming down to the 11th hour. We’re facing a violent storm,†Clinton said according to the Connecticut Mirror. “It’s nothing compared to the storm we’ll face if you don’t make the right decision in this election.†Obama's media pals at NBC News are so desperate that they beat Clinton to the punch with an article written by Ed Schultz that went up when the storm's potential for destruction looked even worse than it does now: Why Romney’s not ready for Hurricane Sandy A massive storm is expected to claw its way up the Eastern Seaboard between now and Halloween night. Some forecasters say Hurricane Sandy will be worse than last year’s Hurricane Irene that hit the East Coast last year. What will be interesting is to see how Mitt Romney reacts in the wake of the storm. … But Mitt Romney would drastically cut funding for disaster relief agencies like FEMA. Romney won’t give specifics on his budget plan, but as Mother Jones noted in August[.] NBC's Chief White House Correspondent, Chuck "The Goatee" Todd has been all over the airwaves today talking up how good it is for Obama to have this chance to look presidential, while Romney has "nothing to do." This of course is another lie of omission from Todd, because we all know Romney has donated campaign buses to aid in the evacuation. Team Romney has also pulled ads and stopped fundraising emails in states targeted by the storm

I am thinking that certain natural disasters can allow them. This hurricane would be considered one.
What makes you think that?
Beck just said that the states can delay an election up to 20 days. Looks for the states who support obama to try that.
You demonstrate a way around that pesky Constitution requirement that all states vote the same day, along with the Federal Law mandating the Tuesday after the first Monday in November as election day, and I'll believe that.
