First lady cancels Tuesday visit to Boston

The approach of Hurricane Sandy has prompted first lady Michelle Obama to cancel a pair of planned stops in Boston on Tuesday.

“The first lady will no longer be attending,” a campaign aide told the Globe tonight, after requesting anonymity to speak about a decision that had yet to be formally announced.

We knew 'sandy' is good for something. . .
