The election is a week away. By next Tuesday, Sandy will be just a low pressure cell somewhere over Canada, most likely. Snow plows will clean up the snow and utility crews will restore service.
Why, then, is there talk of delaying elections and extending voting hours next week?

So Obama can win, Shap!

What Regrets may be missing is that the Jobs Report may have already been written weeks ago.

As I said yesterday - I wouldn't blink one bit if on Monday Obama announced that unemployment was 2.8%, gas was 39 cents a gallon and the government was giving away free chickens to everyone for a year. It wouldn't surprise me with this crew.

Probably was. ;-)
Today I was at a suppliers warehouse and they had the Hanity show playing some soundbites that were called in and recorded. People were saying things about Romney that if it were said about Obama when he was running they would be found by the FBI and arrested.
This is one of the things I hate. If someone says they want a Republican hurt its OK but say something about hurting a Democrat and the FBI pays you a visit.

Speaking of getting in front of the people. Joe Biden debates Joe Biden.

Sorry Regret - I can't watch more than 30 seconds of that video without getting car sick.

Regrets,
That is as much of MSNBC as I have seen so far this month. I do not watch them.

Romney turned the campaign stop into a Red Cross donation drive. He said instead of giving donations to his campaign to text $10 to the Red Cross and MSNBC said it was wrong of him to do that.
Just more of liberals wanting to get Obama elected even if it means not helping people in dire straights. That's pretty low.

Already done it Rick. Everyone else should too.
-- Posted by We Regret To Inform U on Tue, Oct 30, 2012, at 9:52 PM
BTW the labor department has said they will work hard to get those numbers cooked....er I mean.... out by Friday.
-- Posted by We Regret To Inform U on Tue, Oct 30, 2012, at 9:53 PM
Hard to believe Rick.
They still haven't done a budget in 3.5 years.

The storm will be an opportunity for the president to advocate more government control over the privately owned utility companises.
A democrat does what a democrat does.

We had elections in the middle of a Civil War, amongst other things. I think we can pull this one off a week after a storm passes through.
That's not to belittle the suffering of those who were impacted by the storm. My prayers are with them.

Now this will be interesting. If the report is bad we will see it Wednesday after the election.
If it is good expect it to come out on Monday so we don't have time to find out the numbers are cooked like last time.
