Disasters have a way of reminding people that government serves a real purpose.
So in that sense, yes, Hurricane Sandy probably helped Obama.
As (if) more frequent and more destructive natural disasters continue happening, I expect that even more people will abandon their libertarian contempt for the concept and purpose of government.
Like many of you avowed Libertarians, I wish we could live in an anarchist society where no person is ever compelled by laws or government. Sadly both human nature and human group behavior makes LIBERTOPIA and ANARCHTOPIA impossible dreams.
