TAMPA, FL -- Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney reined in his criticism of President Barack Obama on Wednesday, signaling a softer tone at the outset of a three-stop swing through Florida coinciding with the president's trip to New Jersey to survey hurricane damage.
Returning to the campaign trail after cancelling several campaign events out of respect to victims of Hurricane Sandy, Romney joined several prominent Florida Republicans in blending a pitch for storm recovery support with more traditional political fanfare.
In his first formal campaign event (Romney morphed one planned stop in Ohio into a "relief event" on Tuesday), Romney struck hopeful notes.
"You should know I could not be in this race if I were not an optimist. I believe in the future of this country I know we have huge challenges, but I’m not frightened by them, I’m invigorated by the challenge," Romney told supporters gathered in an airplane hangar here near the close of his remarks. "We’re going to take on these challenges we’re going to overcome them!"
As the storm cleanup begins, the Republican presidential candidate is facing questions about his position on the federal government's role in disaster relief. NBC's Peter Alexander reports.
And Romney included an entreaty for donations to the Red Cross as the East Coast reels from the impact of the hurricane earlier this week. (Romney himself made a donation to the Red Cross, an aide told NBC News.)
"If you have an extra dollar or two, send them along and keep the people who are in harms – who have been in harms way, who’ve been damaged either personally or through their property, keep them in your thoughts and prayers," Romney said. "We love all of our fellow citizens. We come together in times like this and we want to make sure that they have a speedy and quick recovery from their financial and in many cases, personal loss."
Romney was joined on the trail by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, the latter of whom noted that Floridians are more familiar with hurricanes than most of the nation, and urged the roughly 2,000 attendees here to pay back the generosity they have experienced after past storms.
At a campaign event in Tampa Bay, Florida, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney promotes a five-point plan for growing the economy.
"People are going to be living with the aftermath of the storm, and so our hearts and our prayers go out to them, and also our help," Rubio said. "If you see on the screen the number you can text the Red Cross and make your donation. We have been the beneficiary of these donations in the past. Let's make sure we pay it forward for our neighbors and fellow Americans up north who are suffering."
Bush, who had to handle numerous hurricanes during his time as governor, also waded into the politics of disaster relief, suggesting that local governments contributed more to recovery efforts than the federal government.
"My experience in all this emergency response business is that it is the local level and the state level that really matters," he said to applause. "That if they do their job right the federal government part works out pretty good."

But today's event was certainly a return to the issues that have driven the campaign for the last year -- with Romney criticizing the president's stewardship of the economy indirectly, and offering his own plan in contrast.
“My view is pretty straight forward and that is I believe that this is time for America to take a different course, that this should be a turning point for our country, and I say that because I look at where we are and with 23 million Americans – you think about that. These are real people. These are folks trying to put food on the table," Romney said. "Twenty-three million people struggling to find a good job. This is something that requires in my view a different path than we’ve been on."

"Hmmm...I haven't anything better to do...better get back to politicking (potlicking) before this guy gains ground on me". Stick a fork in him...he's done.
Can't sway voters who already made up their mind... unless maybe you live in Jersey and NY. These folks will suffer. If not for the government lending aid... it would be much worse.
Think before you vote... Less government?
Be careful what you ask for... you might get it.
It's time for Trump to put his money where his mouth is and instead of a publicity stunt donate the $5,000 to the relief fund. Now that signon.org has a petition requesting the donation Trump was going to make if the President released his school documents, donate to the disaster relief instead- let's see if he will.
THAT is an excellent point. Step up Donald you obvious @!$%#... It wasn't $5k... it was 5M. Charity should start at home... NYC.
Gloria, do you really honestly have even the smallest of ideas of all the revenue, job creation, and charitable contributions that Trump has poured into NYC alone over the years? Do you really believe he is not helping the city he loves more than anything? The 5 million was an offer, not a demand, not an accusation, just a simple offer. Couple cheap documents = 5 million to a charity of his choice. All Obama would have had to do was get one of his staff to make a couple quick phone calls, and and easy 5 million for his charity and his ability to shove one up Trumps backside. But alas, attacked Trump, then no simple documents, no 5 million for charity... hmmmm...
Gofigure: Your an idiot and cannot or refuse to see through his total BS.He touted this as a relief rally and then goes and buys the goods,gives it to the people that show up,only to have them give it right back to him !!! Also why don't you check what he did,or more the point,didn't do for the folks under water in Peabody & Greenfield when he was Governor !!! He left for days when Greenfield was under water,could not be reached at all.And twice he screwed Peabody.
This Maria person, a grown man living in his parents basement, and refers to everyone as being a "douche bag". Isn't it really strange that he posts a picture of a little girl next to his "maria" name? Maybe just me thinking too much.
Yes,you are thinking way too much.Try a 58 year old Italian woman who adores her grand child-Nice try though !!
No you are not, I remember the comment where you were complaining because you were living at home months ago. And old Italian grandmas don't type things like "douche bag" and other mean hateful names over and over. You are such a complete liar.... liar ... pants on fire...... plllllllll. Just had to have fun with the ending.
oh well. guess this is so long.
Who actually thinks Romney is a sincere man-of-the-people ?
Romney is a corporate welfare specialist.
He wants to privatize FEMA,...and eliminate medicare,...and social security,...but then give MORE big tax breaks to corporations and the wealthy.
Does this sound like the leader of a nation of people,...or a corporate shill looking to do their bidding ?
A vote for Romney is a vote against the middle class.
I do. Look at the tons of people he has helped without mentioning it in his private life. No one knew until they came out on their own in support of Romney, and then he intentionally downplayed it and would not use them in his campaign. Not sure if Obama has ever helped anyone but his self absorbed self.
Oh, he also gave up his crazy successful businesses to go into non paying government because he wanted to help people. Flat out simple.
What a bastard Romney is,...to be focused on his underhanded campaign,...as the people are reeling from the damage inflicted by hurricane Sandy.
How callous of Romney to hold a "relief rally" in Ohio at this time !! OMG. Just think of that, so UNGODLY self-serving . He must think they are pret-ty gullible to not be able to see right through that. SHAMEFUL !!
BTW,...Mitt Romney wants to eliminate FEMA !! How ironic is this turn of events ?
Everyone should understand that Romney's finishing strategy is to simply bombard the media and everyone's senses with ads,...ads,...ads that speak negatively about the president. Romney's messages do not ring true and are just CONSERVATIVE PROPAGANDA. It has been their goal to oppose everything about Obama's administration since day one of his administration - unconditionally. It's all a power play on behalf of their wealthy corporate masters.
Obama has accomplished a lot given the circumstances he was handed due to years of failed conservative policies. OBAMA NEEDS AND DESERVES ANOTHER FOUR YEARS.
A time like this is the PERFECT example of why we need to continue to think of ourselves as a COUNTRY OF PEOPLE not simply investors and competing business interests.
NOW we may again see clearly what it means to be,..and to have,...and to NEED a neighbor.
It will be awkward to watch Mitt Romney try to feign conservative compassion for the citizens he plans to kick to the curb and abandon with his corporate welfare policies.
There IS a need for the guiding hand of government. There IS a need for taxes. There IS a need for social programs. There IS a reason to watch each other's back.
I don't know if it is God,...or just fate,...but THIS hurricane happened at THIS time before THIS election for a reason.
Our leaders' job is now to unite the people of the region to try to recover from this catastrophe. Should we think of this use of tax money as redistribution of wealth ? Where is the return for our investors ? Now that we are "all in it together",...we will all be in it together.
BUT as the GOP has seen the perfect financial storm gathering over the past generatrion all they can think of is how to distance themselves from those who are struggling. More tax breaks and bonuses and huge salaries and vacation home for ME,....and more pink slips and stagnant wages and less benefits for YOU.
BASTARDS >>>and that is to say they act like they have no country,...or no father,...or no family. The new right is uniquely un-American.
This is a country of "We the people".
If you care about your neighbor,....if you care about the majority of US citizens,....if you care for the America that was before this era of unprecedented greed and self-interest,...vote Obama/Biden on Tuesday, November 6th 2012.
Please, please, please,...come out to the polls and vote.
Say no to Ayn Rand's "ethical egoism and pure self-interest",.....and come back to American values, family values and "ethical altruism".
This is the wealthiest country in the world.
There IS enough for us to help our neighbors in need.
Let's support our fellow American citizens as they recover from hurricane Sandy.
God bless America,...God bless the PEOPLE of America.
Vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden on Tuesday November 6th 2012
bs - He wants to help himself to a legal 0% tax rate for the filthy rich like himself. Btw, why do you think he never released his tax returns?
And the Obama speeches and campaign photo op tour of Jersey with the governor he is holding the purse strings over... not a campaign stop? And Obama is flying out to Vegas for another fund raising party tonight.
And, Obama is cutting almost a billion out of FEMA. Romney wanted to shrink FEMA back to Federal operations, and give the real money back to the local municipalities and states where it could be put to better use without the endless red tape and beaurocracy waste. Having gone through Katrina and becoming so frustrated from dealing with FEMA we finally gave up.... I know why.
He did release his tax returns months ago. This myth is constantly perpetuated by people like you and the DNC talking points. What is it you wanted to see on his taxes that fascinates you so much? Can I see your tax returns... I am curious? Do you think he cheated or something? Do you think the IRS hasn't gone over his returns a thousand times now looking for something wrong? Time to move on from tax returns and Bush.... focus on the past four years of complete failure by the President.
seldom
SPIN.SPIN-where are the facts Answer-you have none
The fact is I am level2 trader and have been pushing for the private option of Social Securty for long time so I can have control and earn double digit gains free from government Bureacracy
Maria dude, I already covered this in a previous comment. But, if you refuse to, or are not able to read, then just look at the video.... people handing him all different colored plastic bags, shopping bags, and boxes of stuff.... can't change reality mariaman. Sorry. Check out some anger management classes, you are kind of scary there.

Please, please, please.
Then vote OUT the party of NO & LIES!
Romney is one opportunist who never quit campaigning - you can't believe him EVER!
Romney needs 79 more electoral votes to win. There are 11 toss-up states per RCP with a combined 146 electoral votes. Game on.
If all the tossups vote the way they are currently leaning, Obama wins 290 to 248.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/2012_elections_electoral_college_map_no_toss_ups.html
The fact that they even have a chance of going red is amazing. You will see many surprises next Tuesday.
When it really comes down to the election... Romney and Obama try their damnest to be centrists... appeal to the middle. Honestly... who do you believe? Personally, I don't believe or trust Mitt.
Romney staged the donations at his campaign event!
"The plan was for supporters to bring hurricane relief supplies to the event and then deliver the bags of canned goods, packages of diapers, and cases of water bottles to the candidate, who would be perched behind a table along with a slew of volunteers...
But the last-minute nature of the call for donations left some in the campaign concerned that they would end up with an empty truck. So the night before the event, campaign aides went to a local Wal-Mart and spent $5,000 on granola bars, canned food, and diapers to put on display while they waited for donations to come in, according to one staffer. (The campaign confirmed that it "did donate supplies to the relief effort," but would not specify how much it spent.)
The volunteer gestured toward a pile of groceries conveniently stacked near the candidate. "Just grab something," he said.

Serious? Ridiculous?? The latter.....
All I know is when this campaign is over I will be bored. Liberal/Dem people are so much fun on these things when they get stuck by logic, reason, or fact. Their mud just looks stupid, they get angry, then hateful, then they disappear...
Will miss it.
We will not spike the football. The Dems spiking the football for over a year is the reason for Benghazi. If you spike the football, the libs will burn down the cities. MoveOn.org said so.
Road Warrior
Don't forget that spiking the football and all the security leaks got the Seal team 6 killed weeks later in Afghanistan.
Do you think that RPG attack was an accident- no it wasnt thanks to the Obama grandstanding,the Taliban were waiting for that helicopter.
Its funny that Obama takes the credit and yet he was against the enhanced interrogations that led to the carrier which led to the compound in Pakistan.
Eventually No Barack Criticism News Network will be shut down for the irrational posts such as yours. The current POTUS has divided this nation so fiercely that it will take years to overcome and decades to overcome his spending spree. Romney / Ryan!!
Guess you didn't see Christie and Obama today.And also,it is all over the news now that the Ohio rally was a fake,staged-This after the auto screw up !!! Your guy is TOAST !!!
I have a fifth of your choice with you name on it....not for you to drown your sorrows...but for me to celebrate the stupidity of your party. CHEERS!
Maria dude, you keep disappearing when caught in your lies and misconceptions... then you reappear with something new and more senseless..... fun.
sore loser
Obama and his administration are only puppets for who is dividing the country.
We have to shut down Bill Ayers,George Soros and their communist and progresive Organizations- Priorities USA,Move-On.Org,Center for American Progress,Occupy Movement.
Put the brakes on these and you shut down the agenda to dismantle our Constitution,our capital free market Republic,and our American way of life, and replace it with their Anarchy and Marxist Progressive society.
Our patriots fought for are freedom against the Anarchy of King George and now we have to fight for preservation of our freedom against Ayers and Soros.
Soros is a shrewed billionaire who is using a lot of his wealth to push his cancerous agenda across our country.
Big Bill Clinton is camped out in Minnesota a completely dem state? Wow. Guess Al Frankin lies didn't keep it afloat.. :-)
Gofigureit...conservatives posters can't stay on point. You're a loser...that's why you vote Republican.
Nice comeback. didn't you lose that recall? :-)
I didn't even vote in the recall dip@!$%#...I didn't believe in it. What matters is the presidential election. The recall has no bearing on that. How stupid are you? You're one of those idiots that believe state elections pre-determine national elections....you ARE too stupid to be part of the electorate
man, you are really a strange nut.... must be mad cow disease.
Romney Ryan 2012...the final nail in the coffin for Republicans
Sandy wins the election for Obama....you can always use that for your excuse
Been playing with those Holsteins again? :-)
Updated as of 8:30pm EST on Wednesday, October 31 (Happy Halloween!):
With less than 124 hours left in the 2012 presidential campaign, Real Clear Politics has Obama leading in eight of their eleven toss-up states with Romney leading in three.
In descending order of 'percentage of lead' in favor of Obama, followed in ascending order of 'percentage of lead' in favor of Romney, here are the published averaged numbers from RCP as of 8:30pm EST together with the most recent FiveThirtyEight election night probabilities of victory for either candidate:
In PENNSYLVANIA, with 20 electoral votes, Obama's lead has fallen to 4.6%, down slightly from yesterday's 4.7%. Nonetheless, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 95.4% chance of winning here, up from yesterday's 94.2%.
In WISCONSIN, with 10 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 4.0%, up substantially from yesterday's 2.3%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 88.1% chance of winning here, up significantly from yesterday's 85.7%.
In MICHIGAN, with 16 electoral votes, Obama's lead has fallen to 3.0%, down from yesterday's 4.0%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 97.9% chance of winning here, down slightly from yesterday's 98.1%.
In NEVADA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead is holding at 2.4%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama an 82.8% chance of winning here, up significantly from yesterday's 79.7%.
In OHIO, with 18 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 2.3%, up slightly from yesterday's 2.1%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 77.6% chance of winning here, up significantly from yesterday's 73.3%.
In IOWA, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead has fallen to 1.3%, down from yesterday's 2.3%. However, FiveThirtyEight gives Obama a 74.4% chance of winning here, up from yesterday's 73.9%.
In NEW HAMPSHIRE, with 4 electoral votes, Obama's lead has fallen to 1.0%, down from yesterday's 2.0%. However, FiveThirtyEight gives Obama a 75.4% chance of winning here, up significantly from yesterday's 70.3%.
In COLORADO, with 9 electoral votes, Obama's lead has risen to 0.5%, up from yesterday's tie. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 60.7% chance of winning here, up significantly from yesterday's 5.4%.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In VIRGINIA, with 13 electoral votes, Romney's lead has risen to 0.5%, up from yesterday's tie. Interestingly, FiveThirtyEight currently gives Obama a 61.8% chance of winning here, up significantly from yesterday's 57.8%.
In FLORIDA, with 29 electoral votes, Romney's lead has fallen to 1.2%, down from yesterday's 1.3%. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Romney a 59.3% chance of winning here, down significantly from yesterday's 64.7%.
In NORTH CAROLINA, with 15 electoral votes, Romney's lead has risen to 3.8%, up from yesterday's 3.0%. FiveThirtyEight gives Romney an 82.0% chance of winning here, up from yesterday's 81.4%.
All in all, while Romney's position in six of the eleven toss-ups has improved over the past 48 hours, his chances of winning in four of these six (Pennsylvania, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Virginia) has actually declined. This curious development is a function of Romney losing his race against the clock where his gains are simply not occurring quickly enough to make a difference.
In any case, in order for Obama to win re-election the least complex route appears to be through maintaining his current lead in the five toss-up states where his existing margins are widest (Pennsylvania at 4.6%, Wisconsin at 4.0%, Michigan at 3.0%, Nevada at 2.4%, and Ohio at 2.3%). Doing so would bring his electoral vote total on Election Day to 271. In this scenario, Obama could still surpass 270 while failing to hold Iowa, New Hampshire, and Colorado.
However, should Obama fail to hold Ohio, the loss could effectively be neutralized by any of the following combination of wins from states where FiveThirtyEight is currently predicting Obama victories:
Path #1: Obama loses Ohio but wins Iowa, New Hampshire, and Colorado resulting in 272 electoral votes.
Path #2: Obama loses Ohio but steals Virginia while also taking New Hampshire, Iowa, or Colorado resulting in 270, 272, or 275 electoral votes, respectively.
Interestingly, with Romney's lead having diminished significantly in Florida over the past two weeks and with Hurricane Sandy forcefully highlighting the stark contrast between the candidates regarding the value and necessity if not the mere existence of FEMA in a state which has perhaps the greatest dependence on federal storm relief efforts in the country, a 3rd path has now emerged which could provide for some interesting election night television:
Path #3: Obama comes from behind to win Florida. This scenario would require only that Obama win the three states in which his present leads are widest (Pennsylvania at 4.6%, Wisconsin at 4.0%, and Michigan at 3.0%), resulting in 276 electoral votes.
For Romney to unseat Obama, he not only would have to hold the three states in which he presently leads, Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia bringing his electoral vote total to 248, but also steal a victory in Colorado where Obama's lead today rose to 0.5% and in Ohio where Obama's lead today settled at 2.3%. By so doing, Romney's electoral vote total would reach 275.
Should Romney fail to steal Ohio he could overcome this shortfall by capturing the four other states in which Obama's current leads are smallest (Colorado at 0.5%, New Hampshire at 1.0%, Iowa at 1.3%, and Nevada at 2.4%) resulting in an electoral vote total of 273.
In either scenario, however, Romney must hold Florida at all costs.
FiveThirtyEight, at present, estimates the chance of Election Day victory for each candidate as follows: Obama 77.4% - Romney 22.6%. FiveThirtyEight also projects that on Election Day the final electoral tally will be as follows: Obama 299 - Romney 239. Lastly, although it makes no difference in terms of the final result which can only be determined by the Electoral College, FiveThirtyEight currently predicts a national popular vote distribution on Election Day as follows: Obama 50.4% - Romney 48.5%.
With less than 124 hours of campaigning left, this one still appears to be going down to the wire.
Romney will be seen on November 7th in the Cayman Islands talking to an empty chair,saying"where Did I Go Wrong",chair shrugs and says "I think it was the Big Bird thing". Oh,wait,wait on second thought it was the fake rally,maybe it was the 47%,maybe womwn's rights,maybe FEMA,maybe just maybe it's the man in your mirror !!!!
Maria
PBS last year received 445 million in revenue last year just on the Sesame Street toys and they received several millions more from the DVD sales.
So where is the 140 million of wasteful tax payer dollars going- the pockets of PBS executives. this is one of many Government pork waste.
If you look at the full illegal video and not the edited Mother Jones version- you will see that Romney was addressing the tone of the 47% and what you didn't see is Romney was addressing how they can reach those people and give them assistance to get out of the Government assistance rut and grow and prosper.
So quit posting spin and get the facts.
All I can do is repeat the words from the GM letter to the public about Romeny and the G.O.P..."what paralell Universe are they living in?"
Hey Mitt you are urging people to give money to the Sandy victims, how much have you given. You made 120 million last year. Sure you could spare 1 or 2, million that is.
God forbid you become president, these people along the eastern us wiped out by the storm are now victims and be part of the 47% (or now more) that you have said are not your problem! At least people should be able to find work up that way.
Akin, Mourdoch ,Koster and his ilk are the face of the new radical republican party.A party that denies women their basic rights, a party that denies science and education, a party that is anti working class,, a party that would take us back a century to a time of white male dominance,segregation and strangely a time when Catholics were hated and feared. Now the new GOP has embraced the tenets of the Catholic church and puts our country on the road to a theocracy dominated by one religion and ridiculous heroes How weird!
sanity
I know by your disgusting remarks you have never looked at the backgrounds of niether candidate and your rude comments have been reported several times to the vine.
I have asked you several times to tell me the personal relationships between Obama,Bill Ayers,George Soros and the Agenda and I am still waiting.
My vote is based on research of the candidates backgrounds and Idealogies- tell me Sanity do you have. biographies of any of the candidates.
I can tell by your comments and dodging of the questions that you do not.
Liberal deflection detection device up and running.... its going crazy buzzing and beeping all the time! :-)
Man, I wish I oculd be on the wall at the RNC office today....just trying to contain damage control...the brothers that control them must be going off pshychotically today.....
Good always defeats evil...silly righties, start picking your token african american you can put at the chair (like you did with Michael Steele in 2008)...I would concentrate on keeping Christie around though...
Chris, we democrats welcome you with open arms...
Christie 2016!
He's only doing it because he needs the President to welcome him with and open wallet.
Romney: National security, less government control of peoples lives, getting the economy going again and having people working and being happy with a future. Obama: Coverups, Big Bird, Binders, Dog eating and car riding, college girls losing their virginity to Obama in exchange for free contraception, Photo ops, smirks, Bush, corpes mans, vacations, golfing, and tv show appearances... just for starters. Hmmm... decisions, decisions, decisions..
Hey stupid...go back to 163.3
Wisconsin Dad-2483393848, you really don't have children do you? I hate government control, but you would seem to be the poster boy for a potentially bad parent. Maybe time for your medications?
Go Packers!!
Here is some news that should scare the bejesus out of Obama and the Democrats.
Romney currently leads Obama 52% to 46% among voters who say they have already cast their ballots. However, that is comparable to Romney's 51% to 46% lead among all likely voters in Gallup's Oct. 22-28 tracking polling. At the same time, the race is tied at 49% among those who have not yet voted but still intend to vote early, suggesting these voters could cause the race to tighten. However, Romney leads 51% to 45% among the much larger group of voters who plan to vote on Election Day, Nov. 6.

'It's better to be silent and be considered a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt..."
I gotta hand it to you, slo, you're as loyal to a dying cause as they come.
Good for you.
Bill,
It's looking pretty good right now.
Then you should keep quite.
Msn
