Well this guy is an executive at Accuweather.
Because of the geographic extent (winds capable of causing power failures in a swath hundreds of miles in width), there could be massive power failures and, once out, the power may be out for weeks.
Again, realizing that there is a lot of uncertainty in all of this (I'm trying not to Chicken Little this) ...but extended power outages "could" have very real effects on voting, counting votes, campaign travels, campaign ads.
Do Obama and Romney want to be doing a typical media blitz of how bad the other guy is while potentially tens of millions of people are without power?
