Hurricane Sandy as the October Surprise

I'm thinking that Obama, concerned that Romney is gaining momentum and in order to deflect growing criticism about the way Benghazi went down, is going to seize on the impending force majeure to make himself look presidential and in charge.

Expect him to appear in the middle of areas that take the brunt of the storm, probably to the point of him hanging out of Coast Guard helicopters or cutters a la that ridiculous picture of a helmeted Dukakis in a tank.

Thing of it is, if he plays it right, it might work for him. One thing about it, he will certainly take heat if he keeps campaigning while the crap is hitting the fan. The next few days should be very interesting.

Anyway, I hope all DT'ers in the northeast come through ok; I'm in the now "storm-free" state of Florida, which dodged this bullet.
