Cyclone Sandy had a limited effect on the US presidential elections in 2012. It did temporarily halt campaigning for a few days, but it didn't significantly alter the final election outcome. Some argue that President Obama's handling of the crisis helped him secure re-election, but it's difficult to attribute the entire election result to the storm.

At landfall in the U.S. Sandy was not truly a hurricane any more as the storm had lost its tropical characteristics. For much of the time that it was active Sandy combined traits of a tropical and an extratropical cyclone, becoming a sort of extremely large and powerful hybrid cyclone.
At peaks strength Sandy was a category 2 hurricane. At landfall in the U.S. Sandy was a post tropical cyclone equivalent to a category 1 hurricane.
Sandy, now a post-tropical cyclone, is expected to moved across New Jersey and Maryland into Pennsylvania.
Hurricane Sandy was downgraded from a hurricane to a post-tropical cyclone on October 29, 2012.
Not quite yet. As of October 30 Sandy, now a post-tropical cyclone is still producing wind and rain in the eastern U.S. and Canada.
No. Sandy, now a strong post tropical cyclone is still producing strong winds and rain in the eastern U.S. it is expected to dissipated on November 1.
Phoenix, Arizona, but I thought it was July 5.
The system actually started out as a tropical cyclone, which is what a hurricane is. Its status was changed to a post-tropical cyclone, which may also be called an extratropical cyclone. A tropical cyclone has a warm core, is powered by convection of warm, moist air, and is generally not associated with fronts. An extratropical cyclone has a cold core, is driven by temperature contrasts, and is connected to fronts. As Hurricane Sandy moved north into a relatively cold environment, it began to lose its tropical charcteristics. The collision of its tropical air with colder air led to the formation of fronts. This was aided by the storm interacting with a cold front to the west, connected with a different system. This process took several days, and was complete shortly before Sandy made landfall in New Jersey.
Sandy was a hurricane for most of its time, peaking as a category 2 hurricane before striking Cuba. At landfall in the U.S. Sandy was still at hurricane intensity but had transitioned into a post-tropical cyclone.
The country of Bolivia is far to the south of Sandy's path.
