Ohio is currently 58:41:1 for Obama with 22% countedOhio is more of the critical state actually. Without it, a Romney win is very unlikely.
Romney 82 - 64
I'm not sure what makes you say that; Florida is 11 more votes than Ohio, and pretty much every single scenario that had Romney winning included Florida. It's still technically possible for Romney to win without Ohio (although unlikely), but he has basically no chance without Florida.
Ok so you want real numbers my estimates were a bit off. but your are too
$5,807,463 The deficit in millions when bush took office
$11,909,829 The defecit in millions when bush left.
6 trillion
$16,015,131 is the 2011-2012 jan final numbers.
4 trillion over 3 years for obama
Estimate from this years are around 18 trillion.
So 6 trillion over 4 years with partial deployment war vs 6 trillion over 8 years 6 of which were full deployment war.
I feel left out of the loop in the nailbiting department. Saving all of that for local stuff: Gov. race, I-502. R-74...

As of right now, Obama is ahead in Florida (51% to 49%) and in Ohio (58% to 41%) so Romney has a bit of catching up to do if he wants to have much of a chance. Very tense and very close right now. I hope everyone who could vote did vote today xD
Well, the difference is how you assign the deficit. Who is more responsible: the person in charge when the spending is happening, or is it the responsibility of the person who put the spending in place to create the deficits in the first place? Especially if it's spending that cannot reasonably be undone?
Generally speaking, I think it's the fault of the person who actually did it. The deficit in place now is because of Bush tax cuts, Bush war spending, Bush drug benefit program, interest costs on the additional debt Bush racked up, and the loss of revenues and increases in expenses due to the economic crash.
We gotta kill or reform the Electoral College bullcrap. Sick and tired of it coming down to a few states where the two sides can put all their time and money into. Me personally should just be popular vote.
Ok misspoke deficit vs debt all I fucking care about is how much our government is in debt. I don't care about how much deficit he has each year I care about that the country I lived in is basically private owned at this point cause we owe more money than we make.
Also if you don't know the deficit against inflation for the last 4 years are the 4 highest deficits vs inflation in US history.
