The storm cleanup should help Obama. Not only does it stop Romney from going on the offensive, but people will ultimately be reminded of the poor job Bush (and by extension the Republican Party) did during Hurricane Katrina. I don't think Romney has a chance at this point.
It helps Obama because it got him off his failing campaign trail. His numbers were dropping, and his campaign was using insults like "Romnesia", and putting out ads like the one with the hipster actress equating voting for Obama with losing virginity. Nothing seemed to be working for Obama.
In the end, will anyone change their vote because of Sandy? Not here in swing state Florida.
I can't see the almighty NY/NJ people changing their votes because a hurricane hit Florida, or Virginia, or Ohio, so I don't see why people in those states should change their votes because Obama got some positive press out of your catastrophe.
