New York Times: “In the dark of night, when they get what little sleep they get these days, the people running the campaigns for president have more than enough fodder for nightmares. Worse, come daybreak, they realize their worst fears may yet come true.”
“Dancing in their heads are visions of recounts, contested ballots and lawsuits. The possibility that their candidate could win the popular vote yet lose the presidency. Even the outside chance of an Electoral College tie that throws the contest to Congress.”
“Now add to that parade of potential horrors one more: a freakish two-in-one storm that could, if the more dire forecasts prove correct, warp an election two years and $2 billion in the making.”
Politico: “The presidential campaigns are publicly hitting pause on East Coast
electioneering as Hurricane Sandy spirals toward Atlantic beaches, but
privately political professionals are starting to assess important
questions about how it might affect next week’s elections up and down
the ballot.”
