Let's look at a factual world economics scenario here...

Suppose you are an international company with one of your mission critical development/support offices in Boston. And suppose your employees cannot get to work due to road closures for the convention. Suppose those employees will not get compensated for the lost hours and the customers will not have their support contracts fulfilled during this time frame? Suppose you take a gander at the balance sheet and PL the month after the "convention that closed a city down," and you see a huge drop in support/consulting revenue for the month?

Kerry is going to have a tough time selling "robust economy" points to Bostonians this week. And the international market is listening, also.
