Counting Down to Election Day

With just nine days left until Election Day Mitt Romney and President Obama are reaching out to as many people as they can. Each team is contemplating what could take place in these last days. The Obama team is afraid that people will begin to lose faith and switch their support to "try something new in Washington" while the Romney team is thinking their campaign might have "peaked too soon" and failed to build upon the campaign.

With President Obama in the lead in solid electoral votes all eyes are turning towards the seven "tossup" states: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin. Florida would be critical for Romney to win to have a chance at presidency otherwise he would need to have a total sweep of seven other states plus Ohio and Nevada. President Obama's headquarters stated that they believed he would have a 50% chance of winning Florida. Some also believe the power will fall to Colorado as the deciding state.
