Since Sandy began to threaten, I have received NO campaign solicitations from Obama.

I have received 2 requests from the campaign to donate $$ to the Red Cross.

A stark contrast to the Romney campaign, which continues to campaign under the pretense of a relief effort that is fooling no one.

C'mon Romney, you were a governor. You should know that canned goods and used clothes aren't going to help anyone right now. Particularly when they have to be driven cross country on a freaking tour bus.

Shameful.

When I read your post, I went to my email and there was nothing from any Dem.

Over the course of a normal day, I receive at least a dozen.

I wonder what the 'pubs are doing.

today, either.

Obama's emails come with a link to the Red Cross, not to his own fundraising campaign.

They have truly suspended the campaign to allow the President to deal with the situation.

...and Mitt Romney is being Mitt Romney?

I guess what they say about adversity being revealing of a person's character is right.
