What happens now to the election due to Hurricane Sandy?

I'd like to see a cite for that. I know he can in the Senate, but can't find anything that says he can in the House.

Wrong. It goes to the House. Period.

Actually no. In case of an electoral college tie it goes to the house and senate. The house voting with special rules (each state gets one vote etc) picks the president and the senate picks the VP.

OK, yes, that's true -- I was thinking only in terms of choosing the President.

Interesting thought: What if the vote turnout in NYC is significantly reduced, but the vote in upstate New York is only minimally affected? Could Mitt Romney carry New York state?

Nah, probably not.

Wishful thinking [for you] but not likely. The latest 3 polls averaged show Obama with a 61 to 34% lead in NY.

BTW- though NY is a deep blue state, and much of that blueness comes from cities, Much of the Staten Island, Long Island and East side of Manhattan destruction was in reddish areas. [The city hasn't had a democrat mayor in almost 20 years.]

OK-- So I'm in Upstate NY- [in a purple 'burb in a red county] and the *next* commercial after I posted that was the first one I've seen regarding the presidential election. [eat your heart out all you folks in contested states].

It was by Restore our future- and never mentioned who they were for, but by their twisted logic and condemnation of our current President, I'm guessing they like Romney.

And before I finished this post they ran another one.

So either they have a bucket of money they are dumping on their brother-in-law's account; or they think they might get someone to pull the 'all R' lever-- or they think they have a shot in NY.

I think they're nuts.

They can and they do. The leaders have been very clear that there is nothing in their fundamental doctrine that prohibits any of the caffine drinks. Most don't but that's a matter of personal choice.

Most of which would lose whatever small political clout they have.

A great many of those states are firmly Republican and they would be agreeing to give electorial control to the Democrat cities.

It doesn't work on either a representational or a political basis.

9 And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly. 10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man? 11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.

As I read that, iced coffee is good and, mon, thanks be to Jah for providing all that righteous herb for man.

Sure you do. Why just this week a popular article hit the web, giving guidance to females on the practice of having sex on the first date.

--Full disclosure: I remember a time when few women would even KISS on a first date--

Anyway, there are four pretty good reasons how you can rationalize sex on the first date:

  1. You're horney and it's evident you'll never see this fellow again; he's completely unacceptable as a future mate. Go ahead an use him. He won't cry himself to sleep or even mind.
  2. You've know the chap for a long time, there's a spark there, but you've never really been on a date-date.
  3. You're on vacation in an exotic land or on a cruise and want to make it memorable.

I forget the fourth...
