I heard a good a theory about the storm's cause;
"God sent the storm to make sure Romney gets elected.
A large portion of Obama voters are on welfare, many career welfare recipients as such are deemed inherently lazy. Logic would dictate there is no way they will go out in this kind of bad weather to vote.
On the other hand the large portion of Romney voters are the working class whom routinely traverse bad weather to get to work. Logic would dictate they will still go out and vote.
Thus the Blue States being hammered by this super storm will go Red!"
