Romney Scraps Monday Night and Tuesday Campaigning



AVON LAKE, Ohio (AP) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is curtailing his campaign schedule as Hurricane Sandy bears down on the Eastern seaboard, canceling planned appearances Monday night and all day Tuesday.

Campaign officials say vice presidential running mate Paul Ryan will also scrap campaign rallies during the same time frame.

The decision was announced a short while after President Barack Obama canceled a planned rally in Florida to fly back to Washington, where aides said he would oversee the government's response to the threat posed by the storm.

Romney intends to go ahead with speeches today in Ohio and Iowa before he begins observing his self-imposed storm-related moratorium on campaigning.

The former Massachusetts governor and Obama are locked in a close race, eight days before Election Day.

Nice to have a responsible adult in the White House.
Remember when Katrina was at this stage, the Magnificent Dubya was on vacation, posing for photos with hillbillies and guitars.

Benghazi would have ended differently if Bush was in the White House.
If George W. Bush was President we would have Ambassador Stevens and 3 other brave men alive. George Bush was not on vacation during Katrina, he asked to go into the aftermath and the Democrat Mayor and Gov. would not allow it, they wouldn't even allow the Red Cross to engage. 14 billion dollars later the inept politicos in New Orleans still haven't finished the clean up.

How do you feel about allowing school districts a second vote on their budget plan?
  As long as it's a different plan it's ok.
  I'm ok with a 2nd vote for the same or a different plan.
  One vote and done!
