After a pause in campaigning due to Hurricane Sandy in the Northeast, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is back on the trail today.

Romney held a rally today at Landmark Aviation in Tampa, where he was joined by some heavy hitters.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, U.S. Senate candidate and congressman Connie Mack, Fla. Sen. Marco Rubio all campaigned with Romney.

The former Massachusetts governor spoke to an energetic crowd about the deficit, the economy, his energy plan and how he would  create jobs.

"There are 23 million people in this country looking for a job," Romney told the crowd. "And 47 million Americans on food stamps. I believe we need to take a different course. I will bring real change and real reform and presidency that brings us together."

Romney's all-out Florida blitz continue after his Tampa stop. He is also speaking in Coral Gables this afternoon and Jacksonville tonight.
