The Mitt Romney campaign is canceling all its events through Tuesday, not wanting to be on the stump while President Barack Obama and folks in the Mid-Atlantic states are hunkering down and waiting for Hurricane Sandy to hit. Among the events wiped out was an appearance by U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan in Melbourne later today.
Here’s the announcement:
“Out of sensitivity for the millions of Americans in the path of Hurricane Sandy, we are canceling tonight’s events with Governor Romney in Wisconsin and Congressman Ryan in Melbourne and Lakeland, Florida. We are also canceling all events currently schedule for both Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan on Tuesday. Governor Romney believes this is a time for the nation and its leaders to come together to focus on those Americans who are in harms way. We will provide additional details regarding Governor Romney’s and Congressman Ryan’s schedule when they are available.” — Gail Gitcho, Romney Communications Director
