"your willingness to believe them, going forward?"
Probably not. They've already decided they would have won, except for the hurricane.
Now maybe the hurricane was God's way of thumping them.
Or maybe the hurricane just reminded people WHY we need effective government.
It is "government, of, by, and for" the people isn't it?
