President Obama is canceling some campaign events in Virginia and Colorado so he can monitor Hurricane Sandy
during and after its expected landfall on the East Coast.

After a campaign event Monday in Youngstown, Ohio, Obama will return to the White House as states from the
mid-Atlantic to New England braced for what forecasters called a massive storm, according to the White House.
Obama plans to skip campaign events in northern Virginia on Monday and Colorado Springs on Tuesday.
