WASHINGTON (AP) " It appears the only thing that can knock this presidential campaign off television is a monster hurricane. Both planned to use most of the day to prepare for their second debate on Sunday night, a town-hall-style forum in St. Louis. In Florida, the Clinton campaign pulled its ads from the Weather Channel, amid criticism about insensitivity, and the Trump team pulled its negative TV ads. The storm arrived five days before the voter registration deadline, prompting the Clinton campaign to ask state officials for an extension. At least half of Florida voters typically cast ballots early, either by mail or in person.
