| Romney Cancels Campaign Events Due to Hurricane |
| 2012-10-30 |
[An Nahar] Republican White House candidate Willard MittRomney ...former governor of Massachussetts, currently the Publican nominee for president. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. More to the point, he isn't President B.O... canceled campaign events on Monday and Tuesday as a show of sensitivity as millions of Americans hunker down as Hurricane Sandy approaches. The decision, announced by his campaign, means that Romney will not appear in Wisconsin later on Monday and he will also postpone events elsewhere on Tuesday, complicating his bid to maintain momentum a week before election day. Romney communications director Gail Gitcho said that the former Massachusetts governor and his running mate Paul Ryan ...U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President B.O.'s 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies... would cancel events "out of sensitivity for the millions of Americans in the path of Hurricane Sandy." "Governor Romney believes this is a time for the nation and its leaders to come together to focus on those Americans who are in harm's way," Gitcho said, as Romney followed through on plans to hold one event in Ohio on Monday. Romney's move followed President Barack Obama I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... 's decision to halt campaigning and return to Washington to manage the U.S. government's effort to deal with the storm, expected to roar ashore in northeastern states later Monday. Obama had been due to campaign in swing states Florida, Ohio and Virginia on Monday and to travel to Colorado and Wisconsin on Tuesday. |

| #12 Fine Sherry - make her the Czar of the EPA. Doesn't require senate approval. Plus using their own illegal tactics against them will cause even more exploding leftist heads. What's not to like? |

| #10 If I were President I'd hire her for something and pay her a commission for each exploded head. |

| #6 I'm a fan of Palin. I think she was dragged into the big game before she had been seasoned enough and absorbed the Bush Derangment syndrom of the left with a smile only to find McCain's advisors trying to blame her for their own failure when it was all over. I would love to see Romney put her in charge of the RNC. |

| #4 Agree on mccain but if you look at polls it was very close until he shut down to fix the economy. Thats when hus numbers dumped. Could be folks finally saw him, or tgey mistook him for an opportunist or whatever. After that it was pin the blame on Palin time as Mccain advisors tried to avoid blame |

| #3 I'd like to see Romney keep kicking butt up until Tuesday but if he doesn't have it sewn up now a few days probably won't make that big a difference. McCain was McCain's biggest problem. He didn't take the fight to Obama during his campaign. He still got a fair amount of the vote. |

| #2 Important not to look like he's trying to make political gain out of a tragedy. At least he's not trying to solve the hurricane as McCaine tried when he threw away his campaign at the last minute. |
