Women votes count
Election day is very close and Romney and Obama are tied neck and neck. But over the past few days they both have been trying to get women votes. Women have come a long way in the voting world and their votes today are the ones that could actually change the playing field in the election. Eligible women voters surpass men voters today in the country by a big gap. Statistics say that more single unmarried women are likely to vote for Obama while more married women favor Romney. The reason single women favor Obama more is that they care more about his healthcare changes and plans. Overall, Obama would get tpmore of the women's votes because there are 55 million single women who are eligible to vote this election. I believe that this makes a bigger difference in the swing and battleground states and Obama would be more in favor this election

Romney winning the whit house?
Obama is expected to win the re-election but After romney's initial debate against Obama, he's broken through independent voters which Obama won in 2008. Before the debates, romney's lead with independent voters was 4-8 and now he leads by 12 independent voters. These independent voters are very critical for Romney. This means that Romney is successful in making inroads with voters who voted for Obama before. Romney still needs to receive 270 electoral college votes and in order to do that, je needs to appeal to a lot of swing voters in battleground states. At this moment the polls show that Romney is within striking distance in these battleground states and can take the lead from Obama if he turns the table. This is a very big weekend for Romney if he is planning on running the table in these states and striking back.

Attacks spur on after Sandy
During the presidential election days, a terrible hurricane struck the east coast. It hit new jersey really hard and devastated the whole state by destroying homes, trees, power lines, and worst of all..atlantic cities beloved boardwalk. The candidates took a brief day break to make a stop to new jersey and help out victims. After a day or two, they hopped tight back on the campaign trail and slashed many attacks at each other. Biden said tha Romney was running a false ad about jeep moving it's manufacturing company to china. Biden claims that this was one of the most dishonest ads he has ever seen in his political career! Even obama's spokeswoman Lis Smith said that Romney turned his back on thousands of manufacturing jobs that needed help, and also that him saying that he will provide many manufacturing jobs as president does not match his record or policies. The last few days, Obama and Romney plan on moving into battleground states to get their best and final last word out before the day of election. Day of voting is Tuesday November, 6th.

Bloomberg backs president Obama.
Bloomberg was supposedly suppose to be running for president this fall. Bloomberg is a social liberal like Obama and a businessman-turned-politician like Romney. He is only more aggressive than Obama and much more successful in business than Romney. Bloomberg agrees with Obama on climate change and says that he "gets" it and Romney does not. Bloomberg wants our president to place scientific evdence above electoral politics and even though he defends Obama, this situation does notnmake Obama a perfect candidate in bloombergs eyes. But not everybody is perfect. Bloomberg says,"if president Obama listens to people on both sides of the aisle, and builds trust of moderates, he can fulfill the hope he inspired four years ago and lead our country toward a better future for my children and yours. And that's why I will be voting for him." I agree with his overall statement and will be voting November 6th for Obama.

After the Second Presidential Debate
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/18/us/politics/obama-team-believes-he-reset-the-race.html?ref=politics
After the second debate, Romney and Obama kept up attacks on each other. When Obama was at college campuses in Iowa, he claimed that Mr. Romney's tax proposals did not add up. he also said that Romney's plan would not create jobs but destroy them. Obama quoted,"Romney is proposing a sketchy deal". In virginia, Romney ridiculed Obama's statement about gas prices tied in with health of the economy and said,"It was the most classic of nonanswers of the night". one sure thing that you can expect during the last debate is a lot more battling between each other and the attacks to mess up their whole statements. Final Debate Oct. 22 at 9p.m.

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest-News-Wires/2012/1017/Candy-Crowley-How-did-she-do-as-moderator-of-the-presidential-debate
Candy Crowly did a very good job during the second presidential debate. She was the first woman to moderate a presidential debate in 20 years! The big part of the debate when Romney accused Obama that he didn't address the Libya attack quickly enough, Crowly jumped in and said,"He did, in fact, sir." This made a lot of republicans angry and they thought hat what she said was out of line. I personally don't think this was a wrong move on her point, she was just stating a fact that Obama did address the attack in Libya. The crowd applauded when Obama replied to Crowly's statement by saying,"Can you say that A little louder Candy?" Romney made himself feel stupid. E set his own self on ha one.

Romney got Google Bombed!
http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2012/10/11/mitt-romneys-google-problem-is-completely-wrong/
When you search up on google images for "completely Wrong", you will see results of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. A google spokeswoman was labeling it as a "natural" effect. when Romney's 47% video was leaked, it was only a matter of minutes that comments of the people and reviews were all over the internet. she said that it wasn't googles fault but the peoples fault and what Romneys video said as wrong so they cannot blame google for this incident. image jacking was also used and Romney wasn't the only one to suffer this. Obama was also someone who was on pictures that were wrong. although a lot of them are funny and should be looked at.
