Slight bump for Obama today. Living and dying by these polls is ridiculous, but I do it to an extent.

I keep reading people saying that independents tend to break late for Republicans and that there is polling to show that they are breaking for Romney.

I also hear that they think turnout is going to be low -- unrelated to the storm. That's bad too for Dems.

Are there trends in the polls, or are people just steeling themselves in case the worst happens?

Those pictures of Obama with Gov. Christie and the folks from New Jersey have to help.

Re the battleground states, I was worried about Pennsylvania, but it looks like there wasn't that much flood damage. Fuck Virginia. If we win it, good. If not, meh. I don't think much hinges on it (though what do I know?) But it would be a blow to lose PA. New York and New Jersey are ours. If the vote turned out otherwise, it would have to be related to storm related errors. So, just give us those electoral votes and let those folks concentrate on digging out and drying out.

I can't wait for this damned election to be over.
