It's starting to look bad for Romney

Compared to the clusterf*ck that was New Orleans after Katrina, things are much better in NYC post-Sandy. I was astounded the MTA got subway service running (partially) by Wednesday night. And, at least for now, bus and subway service is free. Hurricanes are a horrible, horrible mess no matter what, and it's going to be bad, no matter what, but the city is doing a pretty decent job in the wake of some really, really bad damage.

Speaking as an NYC'er, I'm not upset about the NYC Marathon running as scheduled. A lot of businesses took a big hit during the hurricane, and the participants and the spectators spend money while they're here. It'll be good for the economy.

EDIT: Marathon just cancelled. Here's a question- the people who run have to raise a certain amount of money for charity to participate. Do the charities lose the money since the marathon wasn't run? Does anyone know how that works?

Let me take a wild guess, if you live in Manhattan you live above 39th Street or in a place that did not lose power, water or was under water. Thanks for making it clear that you are an azzhole.
