Romney could have donated money for relief or go to damaged states to offer assistance.But,no he goes to Ohio and claims It Is
a relief event that turns Into victory event.
We can see Christie Is smarter than Romney.He praises Obama's reaction to storm.Of course Christie doesn't really want Romney to win
since he wants to run In 2016.And praising Obama may help him win reelectiong In 2013.

(26 posts)They will claim it's because of the storm. It's the rethuglicans who are always making excuses and whining when they lose.

(14,549 posts)He was a terrible candidate to chose:
- non Christian (matters more on that side of the aisle)
- father of Obama-care (another mis-match for them)
- 2nd generation career politician
- terrible public speaker
- stiff and unlikeable
- draft dodger with no foreign policy experience

(10,960 posts)Few people in the Republican Party have the slightest use for Romney and most of them will fall on the result with glee as proof that his late turn to moderation cost him the election.
Some on the RW will blame the storm, of course. Somebody will say almost anything.
But I doubt it will be a lasting narrative.

(25,183 posts)If the President had not stepped up to coordinate emergency aid with the governors of the affected states, it might not have placed him in a positive light. There's the campaign stops he had to cancel, etc.
The storm cuts both ways, and so far, Mittens hasn't figured out how to benefit from it other than by shutting up.
