The result was merge with political impact of Hurricane Sandy, as this was the consensus on the talk page of that article. Whether that article itself should be deleted or merged is a topic for another discussion. ~ Amatulić ( talk) 17:58, 6 November 2012 (UTC) reply
Somebody's going to take this to AfD and it might as well be me. Haven't we already had enough of these articles? If it can be demonstrated that this is actually a noteworthy topic for an encyclopedia, I might change my mind, but right now, I think this is just another unnecessary election article.

*Weak keep, but definitely rename Unlike a one-liner from a debate (cough, cough, binders full of women), the political ramifications of a major event certainly warrants enough lasting coverage for an article, especially considering it occurred less than a week before what's likely to be the closest presidential election in more than a decade. Generally, I'm against these types of articles, but in this case, I am going to make an exception. I do agree, however, that renaming it to something more neutral such as
Political ramifications of Hurricane Sandy or something similar would be an order per
WP:NPOV. With the new title, however, I think the article should be broadened to include everything that arises from this storm politically...for Obama, Christie, Romney, Bloomberg, whomever. So I guess my !vote is more of a merge to an article that doesn't yet exist than a keep.
