Pennsylvania and Ohio

It looks as though President Obama will take Pennsylvania which is huge and may win Obama the election this is history making and a very serious step toward victory for President Obama if he can win other key states.

Florida is Still Very Close. 152 Romney 123 Obama

The election is still close however Romney has the lead yet Obama has the lead in Ohio. We may be up late tonight looking to see what happens in Florida. As it stands Florida is 50/50

It Looks Like Republicans Will Control the House

The Republicans if they take over the house and the presidency we will see a new conservative wave of legislation. The new republican power may stimulate the economy or make it sputter. It does seem that tonight will shake up congress with any shift in power tonight. I believe Americans are simply sick of the recession and are looking for any change. The American people are voting desperately this election because neither side seems to have an electrified base like there was in 2008. However we will see what happens in the coming month after the post-election haze has calmed down where this new shift in power takes the nation. Will the American people be more confident in their economy and country? Leave your comment down below

Colorado is Looking Extremely Close

This traditionally left leaning state will be very important to either candidate and it seems it could go either way this is shaping up to be a predictably close election.

Romney and His Small Change

CNN projects that he will pick up states in the midwest however these votes are so small that it wont add up to much. However CNN is  reporting a huge win for Obama in New York and New Jersey gaining all of those electoral college votes will be very helpful for him.

Romney leads 73-64

So far the results are still very close and the election is going to be a tight one however it is looking promising for Romney. However we have not seen anything too promising yet. Romney has not won any states that are shocking. The south will go with Romney however if Romney gets Florida or Ohio he will probably win the entire election however we will see.

The Last Presidential Debate

There was a lot said tonight about how the combination of a strong economy and a strong diplomatic presence in the world will fix the nations problems.  Definitely the highlights of the debate were the points were Romney continued to almost rant on how terrible the world is and there was truth to what he was saying but failed to offer a sufficient solution. Also Romney suggested that President Obama was not being tough enough on Iran and the President replied by saying establishing sanctions are tough and the sanctions he established are incredibly effective.
One of the biggest developments was that Obama continued to successfully state the Governor is wrong and to call him out. Obama also referenced the 'apology tour' attack. The president stated that he used trips to Israel in 2008 to better understand the Israeli conflict. Stating specific incidents of touring bombsites. However the President did not address whether or not it was okay for the President to criticize the united States abroad which is the key reason for the criticism in the first place.

Governor Romney failed in providing a successful attack on the Presidents record and understandably so. The President's record on foreign policy is fantastic and you really cant beat it. Governor Romney even recognized the Presidents successful decision to approve the operation that successfully killed Osama Bin Laden. Also President Obama made this point clearer by using a quote from Romney saying it is not necessary to move heaven and earth to get one man. Also Romney said we can't kill our way out of this mess. Both of these instances the Governor looks weak. Romney simply looked weak tonight and unfortunately for him the President's strongest point foreign policy was the subject of the last debate. In this very close race each candidates need every inch they can gain. Governor Romney lost ground tonight, he lost the debate and may have lost the election. In the first debate Governor Romney came out strong and all he needed to do was continue his momentum and he failed to do that because he was too busy bickering with the President. The Obama campaign is looking stronger than ever and may use this momentum to win the election.
