Romney Resumes Campaigning as Obama Tours New Jersey Damage

Mitt Romney today sought to strike a delicate balance between resuming what had been a hostile presidential campaign and showing sensitivity to the damage and death caused by Atlantic superstorm Sandy.

At his first official campaign rally since the storm hit, the Republican candidate took a softer approach in his stump speech, avoiding any direct mention of President Barack Obama. He cast himself as a bipartisan leader in a time of crisis as he looked beyond the Nov. 6 election.
