Sandy's Affect on the Race by Clara McLain

This story by Jerry Markon and Karen Tumulty is focused mainly on the affect the storm has on early voting and the voting during Election Day. "If power is still out on Election Day, the areas that could be affected include Philadelphia, where Obama urgently needs a strong turnout in a state where Romney has been moving up in the polls."  The story is also about the way the two politicians are handling the poorly timed natural disaster and their concerns for the people in the areas that will be affected by the storm.

The hurricane has caused many campaign events to be cancelled, but others will continue.  At the moment all Obama and Romney can do is stay focused on the areas that they can continue to campaign in, and prepare for what events will take place.
