Bloomberg was forced to cancel the New York Marathon. Now instead of 2 big generators for the marathon and one backup, he has 3 big generators and no idea what to do with them. And for you New Yorkies, to quote the guy in Blazing Saddles; "You're on your own, son."

Unfortunately, I fear The Automatic Earth called it (http://theautomaticearth.com/Finance/europe-makes-obama-look-good-but-thats-not-the-whole-story.html).

"If it hadn't been in the pocket yet, Sandy cast Obama’s victory in stone (unless he really screws up Staten Island, perhaps, or Diebold goes nuts). Not that he really needed it anymore, the economic numbers are simply not bad enough. Or perhaps we should say the public perception of the numbers isn't bad enough. Not for America to go against a long running historical trend that says incumbents with relatively good numbers get re-elected, no matter how much further the country been plunging down the absurd theater scale from bi-partisan to bi-polar in the past 4 years. Or 8, 12, 20, take your pick."

There isn't time to trace all the failure points in the NE back to lack of preparation and lack of leadership, all the way to the White House.

But I hope you are right.
