Arnon Miskin, head of the Fox News decision desk (and a Democrat) asked this question before I left the decision desk room at Fox News on election night, would the result have been significantly different absent Hurricane Sandy?

 Mitt Romney, he argued, had been making headway before that arguing that he would be a bipartisan leader and Baracok Obama had not. Then Americans saw Obama acting presidential and getting effusive praise from Republican National Convention keynoter Chris Christie. There was, at the least, no room for Romney to advance this argument for several days.
