Romney Takes Campaign Into Election Day, Obama Asks For Time To 'Finish What We Started'

November 05, 2012

Mitt Romney was taking his nearly six-year campaign for the presidency all the way to Election Day, making last-minute plans to visit two vital battlegrounds on Tuesday as President Obama headed back to Iowa for a late-night rally Monday that is expected to be the last official campaign stop of his career.

The final hours of the exhausting 2012 contest were being played out at mega-rallies across a half-dozen states. Each candidate sought to close the deal with voters promising "change," while accusing the other of peddling an agenda that would choke the country's already meager economic recovery.

Romney, in Fairfax, Va., said Obama simply has not lived up to his promises.

"Change can't be measured in speeches, it's measured in achievements," Romney said.

Obama, in Columbus, Ohio, claimed he's been fighting against the "status quo" and opponents who bet on "cynicism."

"I've got a whole lot of fight left in me, and I hope you do too," the president told the cheering crowd.

The Romney campaign, in a surprise move, announced Monday that it would hold two campaign stops on Tuesday -- in Cleveland, Ohio, and Pittsburgh, Pa.

Regardless of win or lose, you can bank on executive orders/treaty signing galore between now and any new Congress in January.

Obama will not let a little thing like an election stop him.

His time has expired. His “vision” was defective. His cause was out of sync with the United States, his rhetoric destructive and rejected forthwith.

Tough stuff for a narcissist to deal with... there’s always ganja and golf carts.

He should have said he wants to “Finish the Fight.”

Then maybe those millions playing Halo instead of voting tomorrow would take the hint and remember to go out and vote.

Since Microsoft decided to release Halo 4 on election day.

If obamma loses, then obamma can issue EO’s which will remain effective until Romney is sworn in, and any treaties obamma signs will mean nothing unless approved by the US Senate at a later date. I do expect some high-level criminal pardons will occur though, which cannot be overturned, iirc.

It is funny, whenever I think about Obama this song pops up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMfxQq1GCMg

But this could also be appropriate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqyZMjFqFf0
