Election Day Extravaganza!


It’s finally Election Day! People are going mad on campus/Facebook/Twitter letting everyone know that they have voted and we should all do the same!

I honestly have no idea what the outcome of the presidential race will be. I’m no political expert, but it seems that this could go either way. But I believe that by tonight, we will have a new President of the United States.

I think Romney wins tonight just because most see the lack of “change” Obama promised as a failed term. It’s time for someone else to give it a try. Win a President runs for re-election, we “critique” them based on their past four years in office. By the numbers, they weren't all that great for President Obama. From an article on examiner.com - “U.S. has a +$16.2 trillion deficit and Obama has about a $6 trillion deficit and increasing an average of $3.85 billion debt per day. President Obama promise to cut annual federal budget deficits in half by the end of his term. The unemployment is above 8 % for 44 months, despite the nearly $6 trillion dollar in new Obama's debt.

Those numbers alone are enough to change the minds of most voters. Although President Obama and his supporters have denied and tried to reason with it, the fact is: they failed.

Governor Romney, on the other hand, does not have the past four years working against him. He can offer the people of the United States a fresh start. And I think that is why he will win tonight.

  1. I like your point of view Spencer. I also enjoyed reading your opening statement "It’s finally Election Day! People are going mad on campus/Facebook/Twitter letting everyone know that they have voted and we should all do the same." So true! It's unbelievable how many people on my social media networks chimed in to voice their opinion today or to simply encourage voting. I find it interesting that none of my friends said anything about politics before today and now they all consider themselves experts...
