Could Hurricane Sandy Cost Obama the Election?

Oct. 29, 2012 10:54am Mytheos Holt

Editor’s note: We’ll be talking about this story during today’s live BlazeCast at 1pm ET:

In a race that both sides expected by-and-large to be about planned events, October has been a month full of unscripted twists and turns. From GOP nominee Mitt Romney’s lightning strike of a debate performance at the beginning of the month, which upended the race and sent it careening back toward the challenger, to the failure of preplanned October “surprises” pushed by Donald Trump and Gloria Allred, to the escalating scandal over last month’s Benghazi attacks, this month has defied expectations. And now, at the very end, perhaps the ultimate October surprise – a natural disaster – has hit the East Coast in the form of Hurricane Sandy.

So naturally enough, one question that’s been asked is, how will this impact the election? The answer, thus far, is likely to give supporters of President Barack Obama nervous. The Christian Science Monitor reports:

All the GOP candidate has to do is avoid the appearance that he’s taking political advantage of a potential tragedy – something he failed to do during the early hours of the terrorist attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

But if things go wrong with the federal response to Sandy, Obama will be blamed. And the Obama camp in particular is counting on early voters and get-out-the-vote efforts come Election Day.

“Obviously we want unfettered access to the polls because we believe that the more people that come out, the better we’ll do,” top Obama adviser David Axelrod said on CNN Sunday. “And so, to the extent that it makes it harder, that’s a source of concern.”

“I hope that it all clears out and by the next weekend, we’ll be free of it,” Axelrod added.

Reuters adds a caveat that may explain Axelrod’s discombobulation at the potential effects of the storm:

There is some evidence that natural disasters can hurt an incumbent’s re-election chances as voters often blame whoever is in office for adversity.

Research by Larry Bartels of Vanderbilt University and Christopher Achen of Princeton University found that Vice President Al Gore may have lost the election in 2000 because of severe drought and excessive rainfall in seven states.

Bush’s approval ratings plummeted after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005, and voters could similarly blame Obama if the government fumbles its response to this storm.

National Review election analyst Jim Geraghty picks up this theme, calling 2012 “Year of the Politically Ill-Timed Hurricane.” However, he takes a bit more of a balanced view of the impact of Sandy, suggesting it will impact both parties evenly:

Obviously, early voting is virtually suspended in all of the states experiencing hurricane-force winds, storm surges, etc. Depending on how bad the damage is, you could see some of the most casual, least-motivated voters not bothering to vote a week from Tuesday and focusing on repairing their houses. A few cycles ago, people used to joke that rainy weather was Republican weather; the Republican base was considered much more determined and reliable as voters than the Democrats’ base. And certainly, this year polls have indicated that Republican enthusiasm is off the charts and Democrats’ is down from the 2008 heights. (Apparently Obama’s television ads are sufficiently outrageous to boost Republican enthusiasm to vote against him.) But I think the Democratic base turns out more regularly than it used to and is probably at parity with the Republican one.

So if this lowers turnout a bit in states like Pennsylvania, Virginia and New Hampshire, the first guess would be that it’s bad news for Obama. But right now Romney’s on a (metaphorical) wave.

Both nominees, meanwhile, are walking a fine line between trying to preserve their political edge and avoid looking callous to the concerns of Americans suffering from the effects of Sandy. President Obama has canceled several major events, and returned to Washington. Governor Romney, meanwhile, is continuing to hold events in swing states, but has donated his campaign bus as a courier to bring supplies to hurricane victims. Republican campaign offices are also reportedly being converted into safe spaces for people to take shelter from the storm.

Just wait. The election will be moved to a later date because people effected by this storm will not be able to get to the polls. Then it will be something else to push the election back…

  Sandy will be well dissipated by Nov.6th. Felled trees, evacuations, power outages, home repairs, etc. will be on peoples minds. Uninterested citizens could likely pass on voting because of the inconvenience. No governor will allow any polling place to go without power.

  I have had my suspicions too because we know that we cannot trust anything that Obama says or does. The good news is that God is in control. If Obama is behind anything shady or dishonest or corrupt concerning the elections, it will backfire on him like everything else he has done to try to be in control has. He has a “curse” upon him besides the one we all have when we are born into sin.. He brought a curse upon his life and family because of his lifestyle. He will reap what he sows.

  The constitution states that the national election shall take place on the same day for all states. This can only be changed by amendment. We can assume that the storm will have passed and all polling locations will be open. Some will argue that voters couldn’t get to the polls. This argument becomes less credible as others successfully manage to cast their votes on election day.

  Even if the election goes on as scheduled, the Progs will no doubt accuse the Reps of “stealing the election” and there will be riots in the streets if Romney is declared the winner. Anyone surprised by this? I have felt there would be some sort of “emergency” that BO would use to postpone or cancel, declare martial law and remain in power. King Obama? God help us all.

  The Presidential election has never been postponed ever… but keep THIS in mind:
  
  Constitutionally, Congress has the authority to delegate its powers to the President, including the power to postpone elections. So while the President does not currently have the power to postpone elections, this could change at any time in the future should Congress choose to relinquish this power.

  Millions of Americans have been participating in the 40 days of prayer which started in September. The idea is to pray for the country 40 days before the election. Many are joining that with fasting. Indeed we all need to do what we can to protect this nation and we really need to remember that we were founded “under God”. When they tried to take the name of God out of everything at the Democratic convention, that did it for many people. Let’s pray they vote.

Obama has already promised to cut the “red tape”. Apparently he didn’t feel like cutting the “red tape” when it came to Benghazi. Obama didn’t have the backs of those under fire from terrorists: those who asked for help: and watched the horror unfold as he watched the live feeds from drones as he & everyone under him cooked up lies. Sandy won’t save his arse now.

Beside- the storm will be UNfair! Unfair! Unfair! Why, we just MUST keep the polls open longer for all those people who WOULD have voted but didn’t (with more time for mischief among those who “count” the votes in the northeast.

  Seriously? Weather may have a little to do with it, but I would think the 4 murders in Benghazi that Obama is covering up “should” be more of a factor for him. Unfortunately, the corrupt MSM is now saying that not only are republicans racist for anything they say, but the only reason that this is being brought up is political.
  
  Funny how the democrats and main stream media “step over and ignore the dead bodies in order to stop the questions about their president rather than just answering some basic questions.
  
  Why
  
  THEN was initial, FALSE information about the bogus YouTube video put out about the Benghazi attacks and WAS NOT CONSIDERED TOP SECRET
  
  But
  
  NOW, when there is TRUE information that would surely incriminate Obama and his Administration regarding the attacks in Benghazi, IS CONSIDERED TOP SECRET
  
  This is not POLITICAL, THIS IS TREASONOUS!!!!!!!

So let’s see the difference between how each candidate has responded to this. Romney is using his own bus, his own money, his time to collect donations and supplies to provide to shelters and to people who are affected by this storm. Obama has come out saying “He’s afraid it could affect voter turnout.”

  Aside from how Obama and Romney react, there is another factor to consider. The most heavily Democratic areas are in the urban cores, and rely on public transportation. Combining this year’s lack of enthusiasm on the part of Obama’s base with the crippled public transportation systems making it more difficult to get to the polls, the majority of votes lost will be those that would have gone to Obama. His loss of votes in Philadelphia alone could cost Obama Pennsylvania.

  Not if Romney wins California, come on they might surprise by sitting home! Californians just had their wealth decimated in the past 4 years. They probably are pissed at prices being so high. Romney promises gas prices to go down. He has a home in CA….every once in a while when their wallets get light, they go Republican.
  
  Don’t be discouraged in those blue to light blue states: Vote because the polls are skewed based on the past rather than just the past 4 years.

Since I know there is a God in Heaven…yes. Whatever it takes to get this abomination out of office and his feckless little minions with him…..there is going to be a HUGE party on Nov 7th…a day of praise for God and a day of celebration unbridled.

  Even if he does loose, will he leave peacefully? That is what I am worried about.

  Rasmussen is reporting Romney up in Ohio…Obama’s in trouble.

  Spent most of yesterday reading the book by Ed Klein, “The Amateur” about obama & michelle. I’m about 3/4 finished and appalled at what these people have done to our Nation. Just because obama may be a smart community organizer doesn’t give him the smarts to be President. This is why many people and many on his staff call him “THE AMATEUR”
  He listens to Valarie Jarrett more than he listens to his advisers, and she’s been wrong more often than those who understand how to run this country. This book is a MUST READ.

Four years of abysmal failure wasn’t enough, we needed wind and rain to seal the deal?

  Tell Him a well aimed lightning bolt would be greatly appreciated.

  GONZO, I hope the lightening bolt hits him between the eyes, although his lying mouth would make a good target.

This storm is all Obama’s fault, he simply hasn’t done enough to prevent it and I am not letting the campaigner in chief off the hook!

It’s in very poor taste to politicize the potential loss of life and property due to this storm.

If you’re looking for loss of life due to political concerns, look no further than what took place in Benghazi. Obama’s reluctance to act on his duty to protect Americans overseas due to the political fallout he would suffer is vulgar enough.

obama is already ‘toast’ – Sandy will just make him ‘soggy toast’.

  Sandy is NOT going to make me change my vote. In fact it is even more critical to vote BO out. The Govt is already in a big hole/debt and with so many states declaring state of emergencies and the amt of $$ required to clean up, will be enormous. we need our economy to recover even quicker, not at the snail pace!!!
