“COULD HURRICANE SANDY SWING THE ELECTION? If Romney wins, is Roe v. Wade toast? Four different theories on why Obama tanked in the first debate? Contemplating a Romney upset in Wisconsin? Benghazi is worse than Watergate….” A Bloggingheads discussion between Bob Wright and me. Highlights include me assuming the brilliance of John Roberts and Bob propounding the old change-of-altitude explanation for Obama’s performance in Debate #1.
ADDED: By the way, my “coastal cities” theory — that Sandy could suppress urban Democratic voting and leverage upstate Republicans — could apply to Wisconsin, where Democratic power is highest in Milwaukee, on the coast of Lake Michigan, where the National Weather Service is saying there could be waves as high as 33 feet.
UPDATE (From Ed): James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute is also exploring the ways that Sandy could impact the election.
