Second Term

President Obama is still President:

President Barack Obama won re-election Tuesday night despite a fierce challenge from Republican Mitt Romney, prevailing in the face of a weak economy and high unemployment that encumbered his first term and crimped the middle class dreams of millions.

"This happened because of you. Thank you" Obama tweeted to supporters as he secured four more years in the White House.

The president sealed his victory in Ohio, Iowa, New Hampshire and Colorado, four of the nine battleground states where the two rivals and their allies spent nearly $1 billion on dueling television commercials.

He now has a second term. What will he do with it?
And thus the 2012 cycle comes to an end.

Election Day

Well here it is, Election Day 2012. Results will be posted as warranted.

It's Official

Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee:

After a long and hard-fought primary season, Mitt Romney today officially became the Republican Party's presidential nominee, securing the 1,144 necessary votes and taking the presidential election into the homestretch.

Delegates from New Jersey put Romney over the top, capping a race for the White House that began for Romney in 2004.

During a roll call in which each state pledged their delegates, Romney won the lion's share. However, each time delegates were pledged to Texas Rep. Ron Paul, the hall erupted in loud applause, indicative of his still insurgent support and fissures in the party.

The roll call took place just hours after Romney arrived in Tampa today under sunny skies.

Is that a good omen as his campaign moves forward?
