Crowley: Sandy introduces big unknown into campaign

Washington 
 The beauty of being a president and a candidate is that when a monster storm stalks up the East Coast, you can run over to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and be seen as a president on the job.

Which also works if you are re-applying.
"It's so important for us to respond big and respond fast as local information starts coming in," President Barack Obama said at FEMA.
Obama advises preparedness as storm approaches
The president canceled his campaign trip Tuesday to the swing state of Colorado, far beyond the reach of Hurricane Sandy. But his people say the president needs to stay home and monitor things, which one Republican found interesting.
"You notice that he's canceling his trips over the hurricane. He didn't cancel his trips over Benghazi," former House speaker and GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said on ABC's "This Week."
Both the president and Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney canceled appearances in the weather-threatened swing state of Virginia so as not to chew up resources and otherwise get in the way of storm preparations.
