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.

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.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/11/obama-official-blames-romneyryan-for-libya-debate/
Obama campaign official blamed Romney and Ryan for the troubles in Libya. The official said their complaints are what caused the entire controversy about Libya. Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul claimed that they are lying. Although after this criticism, Romney and Ryan stayed quiet about the whole situation to stop the criticism. Stephanie Cutter (Obama deputy campaign manager) Says Libya is a big part of Ronmey's and Ryan's stump speech and it is irresponsible. Andrea Saul and stephanie Cutter have been debating back and forth about this issue and Romney has decided to soften his talking about Libya for days.

Sanitation worker makes valid point
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/01/at-a-romney-home-the-view-from-the-curb/?ref=politics
So we all know about the leaked video of Romney and his 47% percent outburst. Many people did not take that well, especially the sanitation worker, Richard Hayes, who had a recent interview. He said,"We're kind of like invisible people. He doesn't realize, you know, the kind of service we provide". He then goes on to say he lifts 15 to 16 tons of garbage a day. He also says that Romney won't care his body starts to breakdown when he is 55 60 years old. Which in my opinion is very true. Romney's ads claims that he is compassionate and will don more for middle class citizens by providing kore jobs. Yea right! Romney just wants more support and try to make up for his 47% outburst. What's said is said and it's a tough maneuver to get around what he said. Romney is not an acceptable person for this type of government. I mean he said he doesn't know why planes have windows! Like seriously?
Romney's look on economics
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/02/us/politics/as-economic-argument-sputters-romney-broadens-focus.html?ref=politics&_r=0
With the first debate coming up, many questions are being asked. What can either man provide for us during the debate. Romney especially is crunching down on his debate on Wednesday. Romney during the debate plans on hitting the quite house with questions on energy, healthcare, taxes, and is going to hit Obama on his ideas about his foreign policy record. Obama's slogan "Forward" is more easier to remember and more effective than Romney's slogan "Believe in America". He is planning on changing it now to "This isn't what a recovery looks like". There will be a lot of debate about foreign policy and Romney attacking Obama about his failure on foreign policy. Romney also has Weak job numbers from Obama's term to have a valid argument that he has failed economically. Romney's aides claimed that the next four years will give time to show that Romney is a better choice and has a better plan for America with energy, healthcare, and foreign policy. Can't wait to watch the debate on wednesday. Should be a good interesting first debate.

Obama's new Commercial Ad
http://news.yahoo.com/obama-pitches-platform-two-minute-ad-065245954--politics.html
Obama released a new commercial ad that talks about his prevailing plans for this country. It's two minutes long and he makes it seem like we are friends when you start to watch it. In the beginning he says,"During the last weeks of this campaign, there'll be debates, speeches, more ads. But if I could sit down with you, in your living room or around the kitchen table, here's what I'd say". He then goes on and says his plans. He also talks about Romney and his plan to give bigger tax cuts to the rich and fewer regulations on wall street to prosper. One plan Obama makes is increasing manufacturing and teaching jobs while reducing the use of foreign oil. Romney says that we can't afford another four years like the last four and he will deliver what Obama hasn't, a "Real Recovery". Romney is not the leader we are looking for, he uses loopholes to pay lower tax rates while middle class pays more than $2,000 a year and gives multimillionaires tax cuts of $250,000. Obama should and will be our leader again.

Polite Campaign battle
http://www.kpic.com/politics/national/171281141.html
In New York, They appeared at different times and both talked about foreign policy. They also criticized each others ideas but they did not do it harshly but rather politely. Although Romney didn't all agree with Obama's Voice on education. With Obama Moving ahead in a many battleground states and national surveys, this was as close as republican candidate came to acknowledging recent polls. The more commercials are showing on all battleground state from each candidate. Each on is bashing the other on policies that they won't keep. Like Romney bashing Obama about foreign policy and saying he can do a better job. It's like a commercial war between the two. The other Romney commercial has a baby and starts like "dear daughter, welcome to america. Your share Of obama's debt is over $50,000.". The white house also failed to claim the assassination of Their ambassador as a terrorist attack. And can you believe that Iran is nearing nuclear bomb capability. Romney announced in New York that if he elected, he will create prosperity pacts for the middle east. He's all about helping the middle east. Obama then addressed the attack on US citizens in Libya and called on world leaders to discuss the problem. These problems are important and should be planned on being fixed, but so should our economy. There are many things that need to be fixed. Times are hard now a days.

Mitt Romney is really dumb
The Colbert Report; Comedy Central
Mitt Romneys wifes plane had an electrical fire and had to make a quick landin. Mitt Romney used this incident as a gateway to a statement speech and looked like an idiot because he said when there is a fire on an airplane and you don't really know where to go because there isn't anywhere to go and you cannot get oxygen from the outside of the plane cause the window don't open and he doesn't know why the don't open. How stupid can you get? He is not and ideal leader. The one guy on the radio says if obama wins, that will be the end of the republican party. On the wall street journal, Peggy Noonan's blog says,"Its time to admit the Romney Campaign as an incomoetent one." But two days later she corrected it by saying,"I called it incompetent...I really meant 'rolling calamity.'" How will Romney start to come back and win this election? I don't think it will be a close call. obama would dominate Mitt Romney. My opinion.
obama is the luckiest man on the planet
Daily show with John Stewart on Comedy Central
The white house says that Obama has no plans to have any private meetings with world leaders and that he is a very busy man although he appeared in the view september 25. Mitt Romney claims that we don't need healthcare plans because we have emergency rooms where they give free healthcare paid for by taxes. A form of socialism is what he is saying. John Stewart is saying the closer we get to the election the dumber Mitt Romney is getting. Mitt romney made a book of his economic plan to balance bugets last year and eight months later he Romney said we don't even have to do anything to see economic growth if he is elected. Stewart compares Romney to charlie from flowers for Algernon. When Romney says he doesn't believe in redistribution, on september 23 he makes a statement about redistribution that he will plan on doing if he is elected. He basically is not staying true to his beliefs for this country

Romney's tax situation
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/09/romney-was-in-a-unique-position-on-tax-rate-campaign-says/
Mitt Romney paid extra taxes last year because of the publicity of him paying a 13% rate in 2011. The Donation that Romney and his wife donated would have brought their rate down to 10.38. Romney claimed he did go back over his taxes and over the past 10 years he never paid more less than 13%. Romney claimed to pay more than he owed because he had mad a commitment to the public that he would pay over than 13%. Although Romney told Muir that if he kept on paying more for taxes he would not be qualified to be president. Obama see to use this as attacking Romney on his low tax rates and give Obama more followers.
The rich can tax be taxed more!
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/obama-romney-sure-afford-pay-little-more-taxes-235711857--election.html
After 7 months Obama returns to Milwaukee to win the state of Wisconsin. Although it rained on their parade, Obama tells everyone to stick through it. While in Milwaukee, he states that Romney can pay more in tax and so can the other rich Americans. He also bashes Romney and says that his policies wouldn't make anything thing better for middle or lower class citizens. Romney in the past weeksnwas posting up advertisements in the state attacking obama's record on trade and china to make a point in that state where industry has been hard hit by the economy. Obama although, admits that he hasn't made a big change his first term, but he said changes take a few years, ecspecially ones this big and he will promise to make more changes if he is elected for a second term. Obama is surely winning this state like he did in 2008.
