The Telegraph’s Peter Foster says “It should go without saying…No-one should play politics with a storm as awesome and once-in-a-century-sized as Hurricane Sandy. But it also goes without saying that in the election campaign headquarters…the strategists are thinking of absolutely nothing else, even as they order their candidates to look straight ahead and appear as ‘presidential’ as possible.”
Foster continues:
The truth is that with just one week to go until election day, and with Mr Obama and Mr Romney tied in the polls, you can construct a narrative to suit your political inclinations out of Hurricane Sandy. Look hard enough into those lowering, spiralling clouds, and there is a silver lining for everyone.
…For what it’s worth, I peer into the vortex that is Hurricane Sandy and foresee
Mr Obama getting a marginal bump for looking presidential as long as nothing
disastrous happens to undermine him – while Mr Romney, recently surging in the
polls, has the frustration of trying to close the deal at a time when, all of a
sudden, the voices of politicians are being drowned out by the roar of a mighty,
mighty storm.
However, the question remains: Does the election result really matter? Has a US election result mattered since the Kennedy era?
We attempt to answer these questions in our international thriller novels, The Ninth Orphan (The Orphan Trilogy, #1), and The Orphan Factory (The Orphan Trilogy, #2) and shed some light on who wields the real power in today’s world…
