Obama-Romney Race Could be Closest Race Since 2000 One way or the other, history will be made on November 6th, Election Day in the United States. We’ll know soon enough, but if Republican Mitt Romney is able to defeat President Barack Obama that day, he would become the fourth presidential candidate to oust an incumbent […]
Now the Final Push
