"probably Romney" voter I convinced to flip to at least "undecided",told he's voting for Obama today
Cited how well he's handling Hurricane Sandy, impressed he reached across the aisle to Christie and put people before politics, called Romney "fake" - Yes, Hurricane Sandy, God's own October surprise - Obama, you won one over from the darkside...hopefully there are more

That's right folks, you heard it here first.   God sent the hurricane that killed dozens, and destroyed entire neighborhoods and towns to flip Romney voters to Obama.

Sandy, you magnificent bastard.

It's over. Sandy Sinks Rmoney.
OK, I think Obama had it anyway.
But Sandy is the icing on the cake.
The cherry on the sundae.
The final straw.
(Insert your own analogy here: _______________ )

Rmoney is now in an impossible position.
Obama has suspended his campaign to......
Be The President of the United States.

He's laid down the gauntlet.
"This is not the time for politics."
No, it's not.

So this leaves Rmoney...where?
Nowhere, that's where.
The more he continues to campaign, the worse he looks.
He's not fighting against a guy who can't fight back.
He's fighting against a guy who WON'T fight back because he has MUCH more important things to do.

Rmoney is down for the count.

Is anyone else nervous? (A talk me down thread)


 
I suppose I am every election but since it only happens ever four years, I don't remember being this nervous.

I really don't think Mitt can win this thing (election) but I believe this is the last possible opportunity for him to do so. I've actually been surprised at how bad a candidate he has been and there is a part of me that worries tonight might be the night. He could be charming in a klutzie kinda way and win over enough people to pull this off.

Reassure me. I think what I really need to see is that Obama picture with "I've got this thing" on it. Or the equivalent

You're going to have to do better than that cherish44, I don't think that your lame bouncy is the reassurance that Hamlette had in mind.

Maybe a picture of Captain Mom Jeans in the Sandy situation room with the caption:  I've got this thing.

It will only work on those who support him already. The rest of the country still cares more about his failures than a few photos.

How he looks in his windbreaker, rolling around NJ with beachball boy, is exactly the sort of thing that will win the votes of the addled "undecideds" and "independents".

This storm is the most wonderful campaign event the muslim could have dreamed of.

But it ain't gonna help.  St Helen's didn't help Carter, Sandy isn't going to help obumbles.

His ass is in the grease too deep at this point.

Mount St. Helens blew up before cable TV and the 24-hour news cycle.

Jimmeh couldn't show up on TV a hundred times a day on dozens of different channels - he only got 30 seconds at best, at 6:30pm.

This rainstorm, coming when it did, is the most  spectacular and effective campaign event imaginable.

The jug-eared Kenyan and his people must be ecstatic.

He even got some great coast-to-coast coverage of repuke Christie grovelling before the dem messiah.

Furthermore, he doesn't have to worry about the victims getting pissed off, because they're in rock-solid blue states.

If they starve or freeze, the muslim still wins their electoral votes.

You must not have watched much news back then.  It was wall to wall St Helen's and Carter for a month, I very distinctly remember that.  Didn't help Carter, this won't help oblah blah, the old media does not own information like they used to.

The dynamic has changed drastically.

Perhaps the BSM has discovered it wasn't working so well, and moved to other pole-smoking activities.

It's kind of hard to keep talking about how great of a job Obama is doing when he made one photo op appearance and then jetted off to hit the campaign trail again.

We have a very different recollection of 1980.

When the volcano blew up, CNN had not yet been born, and very few people even had cable TV.

TV news was 30 minutes at 6:30 eastern and 30 minutes local news at 11:00 eastern, and that was it.

Jimmeh was holed up in the White House and would speak of nothing but the Iranian hostage crisis.

What we considered to be wall-to-wall coverage in 1980 was thirty minutes every night at 11:30, "America Held Hostage", about Iran, on ABC-TV.

The Mount St. Helens eruption was only two or three weeks after the botched hostage rescue attempt, which was a far, far bigger story.

It was in a remote area, with little damage or loss of life, so the eruption was treated more as a novelty that quickly faded to page 3 of the newspaper.

I've seen more Mount St. Helen's news and tape on National Geographic channel this year than I ever did in 1980.

At least that's how I remember it.

He's doing great!! Absolutely!!
They're doing so great, that they upped the contributions to five bucks, instead of three.
Maybe they spent a bit more than they had.  :-)
