One good thing - no power, no TV ads, in many cases no phone calls, and the streets are such a mess the candidates can't go door-to-door.

Is the weather that cold in Conn.? No chance for warmer weather to melt
the snow? Don't they import power line workers from other states to help?
Most ststes do in an emergency.

Hey, guess what? I got a call from EX-President Bill Clinton this morning
urging me to vote for our Dem canidate in the Mayoral race.

It was just
a robo call, but still.........

The snow is gone - the problem lies with the trees that fell under the weight of the snow, taking the power lines with them. As of this morning I read that there are still over 200,000 without power in Connecticut. I think they do have some out-of-state help.

Massachusetts has just under 40,000 still without power.

Why did the US govt have to get involved with the three idiots in Egypt that got tossed into the clink for allegedly throwing fire bombs at the police during a demonstration.

I saw an interview with one of the morons and his mom.

Right before he was arrested he was online posting messages that the protests in New York should be like the demos in Egypt....

Nice.

Stupid kids going abroad to study and then get arrested for participating in a demostration that they had no business being a part of.

I never feel sorry for any American, like the Iranian hikes, the jounrnalist captured in No Korea or these three that get tossed in jail for being somewhere the should not have been.

ugh.

We're not, we're the world's substitute gym teacher. If we were the mom, we could send the world to bed without dessert and they might actually listen once in a while.
