Looks like the storm has helped Obama and brought climate change back to the fore of an election where it hasn't figured at all:

Bloomberg, who had previously said he hadn’t decided whether he would publicly endorse his candidate of choice, said it was the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy that brought him off the sidelines to declare his support for Obama. In an opinion piece published on Bloomberg View, the Democrat-turned- Republican-turned-independent mayor said Obama has “taken major steps” to combat climate change, won “some important victories” on education and health care, and shares his values on abortion and gay rights.

I suspect climate change won't be treated as dismissively in future Republican campaigns whatever happens Tuesday.
