Tom , I doubt Christie’s actions had any measurable influence on yesterday’s vote. As for Hurricane Sandy, it was an act of God in precisely the sense that all of creation is. No more, no less.

I do very much agree with your closing suggestion that yesterday’s results should cause no adjustment in our understanding of providence.
