Nine Cleveland-area voting locations without power in Sandy's wake

Superstorm Sandy has left a trail of wreckage in her wake, devastating mid-Atlantic coastal communities. But her political impact may be felt as far inland as Ohio, where more than nine polling precincts in and around Cleveland still do not have power four days after the storm passed.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that "Cleveland, Lakewood, Brecksville, Berea and Hunting Valley each have one polling place in the dark. Bay Village has four spots without power." In addition, more than a dozen other polling locations could not be reached by phone.

Election officials have voiced confidence that Tuesday's election will not be affected by the power outages, pointing to reports from local utility companies that power should be restored to affected areas by the end of Monday.

But their contingency plans do not exactly inspire confidence: "If we encounter outages, we have portable generators we could deploy to a limited number of locations and also have flashlight supplies on hand to help deal with that situation," said Jane Platten, Cuyahoga County Board of Elections director. 

Come Tuesday, President Obama and his team would probably like to rely on more than flashlights and generators to ensure that voting in Cuyahoga County proceeds unencumbered - the Cleveland area is a Democratic bastion in fiercely competitive Ohio, and Mr. Obama needs to amass a prohibitive advantage there to offset Romney's strength in southern Ohio.

Romney is a serial, habitual, pathological liar who is unworthy of of the powers of presidency or representing our great nation.

If you feel the preacher at your church is being smothered with gifts at his personal house or place of residence by a contractor looking for favoritism in spreading the contractors' political beliefs you should pay attention to the expensive upgrades to the preachers' houses or residences and report them to the IRS.
There are 950,000 Churches in the United States, if the Owner, Preacher begins living in the lap of luxury at a large majority of these churches, due to the generosity of contractors of various trades, seeking to improve their political parties advantage in an elections, it need to be stopped. It is not hard to spot, especially if you go to that church and you see the Preachers' homes before it became a mansion.
Elections have become as rotten as many other things in life and many religious people have proven they are only religious by name.
Don't be part of the problem, be the answer to any problem out there
