President Obama and Mitt Romney were back on the campaign trail today after Hurricane Sandy upended the presidential race forcing both candidates to temporarily suspend their campaigns.
The president canceled three days of campaigning to focus on recovery efforts and to survey storm-ravaged areas destroyed by the superstorm. Mr. Romney canceled events at the height of the disaster, and then returned to the campaign trail muting his political attacks on the president.
Now with just days until the general election and in a race so tight every vote counts, how are the candidates adjusting their political playbooks to insure a win?
