Election 2012: Incumbent Takes the Title...AGAIN!

In the race to win the 270 electoral votes to be granted the title of President of the United States of America, the incumbent, President Barack H. Obama (D), has beaten out the challenger W. Mitt Romney (R). The President ended the race with 303 electoral votes, while Romney's total only reached 206. In the early hours of the race, Romney had been leading the president; that is, until the polls on the West Coast were closed. The President managed to secure the 55 electoral votes that came from California. This gave him a leg up. Once Obama gained Ohio's 18 electoral votes, he had the race won. He did manage to win Virginia's 13 electoral votes under a slim margin. Some would say the key to President Obama's victory was winning all but one of the swing states. Congrats Mr. President, here's to another four years!
