It's all over but the voting!
Hello, everybody.
Tomorrow...it all ends.
In less than 24 hours and change, the 57th Presidential election between incumbent Barack Obama and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney will be over but the celebration on either side, and both candidates have been in the final mad dashes of their lives. Obama wants to earn an additional four years' paid rent at the White House, but Romney has been doing his damnedest to give the president the eviction notice.
For the last month, Obama and Romney have been in a see-saw-battle in numerous polls, though Mitt got a much deserved boost after the first debate. The economy is once again the main factor, with rising energy costs that have cost Fairbanks two longtime family-owned businesses this year: Hope Hallmark and Somethin' Special, though Pier 1 Imports have recently returned after nearly 30 years.
In the first four years, Obama has accomplished a lot of things, including complete withdrawal of our troops from Iraq with Afghanistan next, signing the Affordable Health Care Act, saving the U.S. auto industry from extinction, and of course, the permanent end of Osama bin Laden's reign of terror. Romney, on the other hand? His Bain Capital put legendary typewriter maker Smith Corona out of a business, but we can give you this: He help bring the 2002 Winter Olympics to Salt Lake City.
But there's more than just the highest office in the land that's at stake. The entire House (all 435 seats) is up for grabs, plus 33 Senate seats (including former WWE CEO Linda McMahon's second chance in Connecticut), 11 gubernatorial races, and hundreds of local and state races and issues to be decided all over the country. Among them are ballot measures ranging from marijuana legalization in battleground Colorado to even mandatory labeling of genetically modified foods in California.
In the end, it'll be either Obama or Romney with the X Factor. The forecast may call for Romney to win the popular vote, but the electoral vote is the only thing that matters. And with the help of early voting and grassroots campaigns in the crucial make-it-or-break-it states like Virginia, Ohio, and Florida, Obama may be reaching the 270 mark yet again, but not by much as compared to 2008.
So...after all the months of drama with Big Bird this and "Don't boo; vote!" that, the final chapter of this heated presidential election will be written in voting booths everywhere tomorrow. Because after all...it's your choice. So long and stay strong.
