And Then There Was Six

1-Sandy did a number on the blue states, the red states faired better. Something like 15-20 States were affected, one way or another. 3-Gotta feel for all the affected people of all stripes, but especially for the folks of Breezy Point, NY were at least 100 homes were burnt to the foundations. The beach front homes along the Jersey/NYC shores gone or standing but twisted and distorted making them unrepairable. Some areas look larger than the 9th District in N.O after Katerna. 3-Big difference in fatality count from N.O., the Govenors of the mid -Atlantic States, others were prepared and excuted there evac. plans keeping death toll currently <100 people total, but that number is expected to rise, but no where the % of the population as in N.O. However, I believe one mayor, in Atlantic City, took exception to Gov Cristy's evac plan. Not sure of the details,but there is always a Ray Negon in ever crowd! 4-The Incumbant ground visit today was received in NJ, but told to bug off in NY... got enough problems without pulling security details to protect your sorry ass or word to that effect. 5-One would be over optimistic to believe all the voting stations will be up and ready in five days+ so voting could begin early 11/06. Another issue is the evac folks couldn't get to there voting stations, if one still stands. 5-I believe it would take an act of Congress to extend the voting date. However Congress is currently out of session, most scattered to the four corners of the country. They could be called back for a Sunday vote, the Incumbant is about to head west to commence campaign but he could be called back. I suppose video/telephone conferencing/is an option, however huge and would it be legal? 6-The Challenger is scheduled to travel to the Jersey and NYC shores < w/e, maybe just a flyover to assess the affected areas. 7-Sandy has provided cover for the WH and the Benghazi Crisis. Understand now neither drone was armed, one ran low on fuel, after an hour, returned to Darnah, the other was dispatched from Tripoli later which begs an answer why wasn't it armed? Happy Halloween!
