Romney: 206
270 To Win
BREAKING NEWS - Obama wins the election after claiming victory in Ohio.
Tonight the country comes to a crossroads, and one of two dramatically different paths will be taken. The race for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue features two distinctly different views of how government should play a role in the lives of citizens. One party wants to make government so small it will drown in the bathtub. The other wants to continue to rebuild the economy after the financial crisis and raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans to pay for the programs that most benefit middle class Americans. With a falling unemployment rate and job creation for over 30 consecutive months, the daunting task of removing a sitting president becomes even more difficult for Gov. Romney. Only once since 1900 has a political party been taken out of power after holding just one term in the White House, Jimmy Carter and the Democrats in 1980.

We can project that Romney will carry the state of West Virginia and its 5 electoral votes.
7:21 – The numbers are beginning to trickle in and as they do more results can be called; however at this point we have no more states to call. Florida is reporting 1% and with that Mitt Romney is leading there. It is important to keep in mind that President is not the only race happening today.

I have a feeling that turnout will be high this time around; my mother spent 1 hour and 47 minutes voting and the line was longer when she left than when she arrived.
