It's a good flip. Seattle Times brings up some good points,
--

Could states really coordinate and manage responses to natural disasters that traverse geographical boundaries? What if one state had more relief money than its neighbors, would that state accept "refugees" from across the border? Depending on the kindness of strangers did not work so well during Katrina when there were documented cases of fleeing residents blocked at gunpoint from seeking shelter in neighboring towns.
Romney is the worst candidate of all time. He stands for nothing but his own self-interests. He will change anything, say anything, do anything to win the office.
