I'm concerned (which i am sure will be noted) about Hurricane Sandy screwing up the early vote...

if we lost a number of days of early voting, it could make a difference in this election....we have weathered, negative press, Citizens United, voter suppression tactics, and sabotage by a partisan Republican Congress.... the irony of course, is that the religious right would see the loss of an election, under these circumstances as literally "an act of God"

in rides Willard on his White Horse, uniting the worst of 2 religious memes.. the right wingers base would look at it as deliverance, and the Mormons would look at it as the biggest thing since "the miracle of the Gulls"..

excuse me burned out all my tin foil...
