Not To Minimize Its Impact - But Is MSM Making More Of Sandy Than.... [View all]

it should because of the nearing of election day? Just a thought. I guess we'll find out after the storm passes and whether or not it is being made into a political football. I know that the Repugs are just laying for PBO to make some type of mistake in handling. I'm sure that PBO will not just fly over the land and just look out AF1's window as Dubya did.
