Lets Get Real:
People have died folks, our thoughts are with those that have lost people, but this is a political blog, so how does this effect the election, as New York is a save Democratic State as is NJ then on the whole the effects might not be that much, if this was Ohio, both candidates would be out with buckets to get the WATER out, do not quite see either of them doing that for NY, for the Oval it would LOOK like a cheap political shot, NY is secure, plus it would cause havoc to have POTUS wondering around, for Governor Romney NY is not in play and and cheap picture shots would not work, lets keep politics out of NY, let them clean up, all they need is the money from D.C. Thus back to politics folks.
