The White House

The America presidential elections are a big show. Last night the first of the television debates between Romney and Obama happened. The whole world wants to know who will win the race to the White House. Is it president Barack Obama or the Republican Mitt Romney. Most Americans think that Mitt Romney won the first television debate. Obama was too nervous to defence himself properly against the attacks from Romney.

Romney is now more popular by the voters of the ‘Swing States’, the nine states who will decide these presidential elections. As a presidential candidate you have to make those people vote for you. The other 41 states already decided if they will vote Republican or Democrat. If you are a Democratic and you are living in Texas, you can stay home. Your vote won’t even count because most people in Texas vote for the Republican Party and the ‘Winner takes it all’.

The eye of the world will be on Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. The most important swing states. If Obama or Romney will win these three states, then they will win the presidential election. And that’s where the television debates are about. Convincing the people in the swing states to vote for them. The citizens of Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, they will decide the presidential elections of 2012.
