President Obama Win Pennsylvania and New Hampshire

It is coming down to the a few more states. President Obama has just won two swing states: Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.

Pennsylvania has 20 electoral votes. Governor Mitt Romney visited the Keystone state during some last minute campaign stops. He hoped for an upset in PA, however the swing state went for Obama.

 

New Hampshire has 4 electoral votes. This is a relatively small state, but it is a good win for President Obama because it was a swing state.

Presidential Candidates' Final Push in Swing States

Each candidate has been making last minute efforts to get votes in key swing states.With less than 24 hours until the presidential election, President Obama and Governor Mitt Romney have been making appearances in swing states such as Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.

 

Vice presidential candidate, Paul Ryan, was in Reno, Nevada today to speak at a rally of more than 500 supporters. This stop was Ryan's second one in the last four days.

President Obama's campaign workers were handing out fliers, and making phone calls for the incumbent.

Nevada has six electoral votes and it is one of the eleven swing states. Reno is a city in Nevada that often leans Republican. Las Vegas, the state's largest city, is often solid blue.

Forecast the Facts Ad Uses Hurricane Sandy to Bash Mitt Romney

An ad by the group called Forecast the Facts, went viral on Youtube this weekend. The ad criticized Governor Mitt Romney for making climate change seem like a joke.

The ad uses a clip of Mitt Romney, at the Republican National Convention, mocking President Obama's goal to "slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet". The crowd erupts in laughter at Romney's comments and the ad shows footage of Hurricane Sandy hitting the East Coast at the same time. The end of the ad shows the group's message loud and clear, "Tell Mitt Romney: Climate Change Isn't a Joke." This ad is currently circulating in Ohio and Virginia.

Although Mitt Romney was heavily criticized in the ad, Forecast the Facts does not support President Obama's handling of Hurricane Sandy. Brad Johnson, a campaign manager for Forecast the Facts, stated, "We're not saying [Obama is better]. Just because we're calling out the outrageousness of Mitt Romney's deliberate cruelty doesn't mean we find Obama's silence to be anything other than a dereliction of duty."

The article was originally published in U.S. News and World Report on November 5, 2012. The author was Jason Koebler. This article was unbias because it simply reported the facts without showing the readers which candidate the author is supporting.

Fox News Sunday- November 4, 2012

David Axelrod and Rick Beeson were on Fox News Sunday today.

David Axelrod is a senior advisor for the Obama campaign.

Rich Beeson is a political director for the Romney campaign.

During an discussion between Chris Wallace and Axelrod, the attack in Benghazi was mentioned. Axelrod was asked about president's response in comparison to his response to Hurricane Sandy.

"The president cancelled campaigning for three days to deal with Hurricane Sandy and he was praised for that. Why did he decide to go campaigning in Las Vegas within hours after four Americans were killed in Benghazi, in a terror attack?"

Axelrod defended the president by stating that President Obama was in a meeting with national security and remained in contact with them during the day.

The subject was then switched to the election and the electoral college. Real Clear Politics shows Obama with 201 electoral votes and Romney with 191 electoral votes.

The last hours before Election Day are important for both candidates. Governor Romney will be spending time in Florida and Virginia on Monday. Election day 2012 is 1 day, 9 hours, and 29 minutes away.
