NORFOLK, Va. - Hurricane Sandy scrambled the plans of presidential candidates as the storm barreled toward battleground Virginia and the rest of the East Coast Sunday.
After conferring with Gov. Bob McDonnell about the additional strain the campaign could impose on emergency personnel already in motion to deal with a potentially historic storm, President Obama, Vice President Biden and Republican contender Mitt Romney all canceled planned visits to a state critical to the fortunes of both sides.
Romney late Friday scrapped a rally planned for Sunday at the 20,000-seat Farm Bureau Live amphitheater in Virginia Beach. A day later, Romney canceled the rest of his Virginia schedule and shifted his campaign temporarily to Ohio instead.
