Reply #7: That really is weird as he has always responded

My first thought was that he might have been overseas, but see there were votes as early as Monday - and he was there. I assume he is swamped with the supercommittee, but he really should have put out a statement. Not just Kerry, but where is his staff?

(We just got cable and internet back, but we were in the lucky half of town that only briefly lost power - for an hour or two today - maybe because the cable lines and power lines traverse the same poles. Our county was the worst hit in NJ and there are gigantic trees that fell on roads taking down wires and blocking the roads. A few areas were completely blocked on Saturday. I've lived in the county for nearly 40 years and this is the worst I have ever seen.
