Yes I believe you Corkey! I lived in central NY for 10 years and Northeasterners are no wimps when it comes to weather. I hope the storm weakens and everyone stays safe.

I don't know why I torture myself with these things, but I did look up which states have early in person voting. Over 30 states do, but many along the eastern seaboard don't.

Hopefully the bad weather will have passed by Election Day, but it would be nice for people to have more leeway.

From the Miami Herald which endorsed Obama:

"Romney has taken so many contradictory positions on important issues — abortion, immigration, even Obamacare (first he said he would repeal it; then he said he would keep the parts most people like) — that he could take any action he chooses once in office and claim that it fulfills a campaign promise he made at one point or another. He has run on his record, and he has run from his record.

That’s not an issue for the president. Not all Americans like what he stands for, but they know who he is. He has championed the middle class and has a larger, more tolerant notion of America that includes closing the inequality gap and evening the playing field, as exemplified by making an equal-pay-for-women bill the first law he signed. He has fought for the DREAM Act on behalf of the immigrant youths brought here by their parents, and he wants a Supreme Court that will continue to support Roe v. Wade. That’s crucial."
