No shame.
Via Newsbusters:
While Superstorm Sandy was pummeling the East Coast Monday night, Michelle Obama was soliciting campaign contributions for her husband’s re-election.
The following was sent at 7:44 PM via email to voters in North Carolina and Virginia just around the time Sandy made landfall:

From: Michelle Obama <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>
Subject: I know we’ve asked a lot of you, but we’re almost there

Friend –
There’s still time to meet Barack and get two of the best seats in the house on Election Night. If you make a donation today, you’ll be automatically entered to join us in Chicago for his big speech.
You’ll be right in the middle of all the action on Election Night, and if Barack wins, you’ll know you played an important part in making that happen and moving our country forward.

Update: I can’t comprehend how any American could vote for Barack Obama over Romney.
(The Hill) – Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan scheduled “storm relief” events Tuesday after previously canceling planned campaign rallies.

Romney will attend an event in Kettering, Ohio, Tuesday morning with race car driver Richard Petty and country music artist Randy Owen. He had previously scheduled a campaign rally at the same site with Petty, Owen and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Tuesday afternoon, but later scrapped the campaign events out of deference to those in the path of Hurricane Sandy.
The Romney campaign did not advise what the event would entail, but a Republican source indicated attendees would be asked to bring disaster relief supplies to the event, and that Romney might give brief remarks.

Ryan, who was originally scheduled to campaign Tuesday in Colorado, instead returned home to Wisconsin on Monday night. On Tuesday afternoon, Ryan will drop by a Romney campaign office in La Crosse, where he will thank volunteers gathering or donating items for storm release efforts.

Later in the evening, Ryan is scheduled to stop at another campaign office in Hudson, again thanking supporters.

Reality begs to differ.
Via The Hill:
President Obama has a “dominant position” in the 2012 race, according to a new campaign video.

In the nearly five-minute video, campaign manager Jim Messina boasts that the campaign has registered millions of voters and opened new field offices to compete across the country, especially in swing states.

“We’ve been at this for more than 18 months,” Messina states. All of that work has been for one purpose — to put us in the strongest possible position come Election Day. And you have put Barack Obama in the dominant position in the race.”

An Obama second term means that the movement toward European-style social democracy continues, in part by legislation, in part by executive decree. The American experiment — the more individualistic, energetic, innovative, risk-taking model of democratic governance — continues to recede, yielding to the supervised life of the entitlement state.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If Obama loses, however, his presidency becomes a historical parenthesis, a passing interlude of overreaching hyper-liberalism, rejected by a center-right country that is 80 percent non-liberal.------------------------------------------- Should they summon the skill and dexterity, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan could guide the country to the restoration of a more austere and modest government with more restrained entitlements and a more equitable and efficient tax code. Those achievements alone would mark a new trajectory — a return to what Reagan started three decades ago.---------------------------------------- Every four years we are told that the coming election is the most important of one’s life. This time it might actually be true. At stake is the relation between citizen and state, the very nature of the American social contract.------------------- CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER----- Charles Krauthammer: The choice - The Washington Post ----
