Election 2012: Obama vs Romney – America Votes
Obama’s voice broke and he wiped away tears from his eyes as he reflected on those who had helped his campaign.
Romney’s final day included stops in Florida, Virginia, Ohio and New Hampshire. The former governor of Massachusetts ended Monday at a raucous “Final Victory” rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, the city where he launched his campaign last year.
“We’re one day away from a fresh start. We’re one day away from a new beginning,” the candidate, sounding hoarse at his fifth rally of the day, told the crowd of 12,000 at a sports arena in the center of the city.
Obama ridiculed Romney’s claims to be the candidate of change and said the challenger would be a rubber stamp for a conservative Tea Party agenda.
“We know what change looks like, and what he’s selling ain’t it,” he said in Columbus, Ohio.
Romney argued he was the candidate who could break the partisan gridlock in Washington, and said four more years of Obama could mean another economic recession.
“His plan for the next four years is to take all the ideas from the first term – the stimulus, the borrowing, Obamacare, all the rest – and do them over again,” he said in Lynchburg, Virginia.
