IHT:

If the response meets the public's approval, Republicans can crow.

And how insane is it to be using a hurricane strike as a campaign issue?

Can't speak to meteorologic probabilites, but for those who might believe in divine intervention, it does cast in an interesting light the recent prayer by the young pastor for Focus on the Family that a rain storm hit Denver during Obama's outdoor acceptance speech. Did God have a different take?

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Depends where it makes landfall. People forget that the Bush republicans dealt very well with a hurricane in florida whre a lot of rich white people were affected. It's just when it's poor blacks things go wrong.
