Obama, Romney close out campaigns for president
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney left voters on Election Day with a stark choice between their fundamentally different visions for the country’s future, clearly laid out during an aggressive and closely fought battle for the White House.
Both sides cast the Election Day decision as one with far-reaching repercussions for a nation still recovering from the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression and at odds over how big a role government should play in solving the country’s economic problems.
After months of campaigning and billions of dollars spent in the battle for leadership of the world’s most powerful country, Obama and Romney were in a virtual nationwide tie ahead of Tuesday’s election, an overt symptom of the vast partisan divide separating Americans in the early years of the 21st century.
