US campaign resumes after Sandy

President Obama cancelled three days of campaign events to be back in the White House and in charge, as the big storm hit the North East coast. If he hadn't he'd have been accused of trying to save his job, rather than doing his job. As it is, he's earned some praise好評 for firmly堅決 taking charge負責. When he visited the devastated揉爛 coastal沿海 area of New Jersey he told people: "This is what America is all about, we go through tough times and then we bounce back捲土重來." 

Now he will return to campaigning, with rallies集會 in Wisconsin, Nevada and Colorado – while the republican candidate Mitt Romney focuses on another swing state搖擺州: Virginia. The next few days will be relentless無情的 and intense激烈的 – the opinion polls民意調查 are still too tight to predict a winner and both camps are claiming they are confident and on the verge of在...邊緣 victory.
