Barack Obama wins election for second term as president
President Barack Obama handily
defeated Gov. Mitt Romney and won himself a second term on Tuesday after
a bitter and historically expensive race that was primarily fought in
just a handful of battleground states. Obama beat Romney after nabbing
almost every one of the 12 crucial battleground states.
The Romney campaign's last-ditch attempt to put blue-leaning
Midwestern swing states in play failed as Obama's Midwestern firewall
sent the president back to the White House for four more years. Obama
picked up the swing states of New Hampshire, Michigan, New Mexico,
Iowa, Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Minnesota
and Ohio. Of the swing states, Romney picked up only North Carolina.
Florida is still too close to call, but even if Romney wins the state,
Obama still beat him in the Electoral College vote. The popular vote
will most likely be narrower than the president's decisive Electoral
College victory.In a sweeping victory speech early Wednesday morning, Obama thanked every American who voted, and vowed to work with leaders from both parties to tackle the country's challenges.
"Our economy is recovering, a decade of war is
ending, a long campaign is now over," he told a crowd of cheering
supporters in Chicago. "And whether I earned your vote or not, I have
listened to you, I have learned from you and you have made me a better
president." Obama added he has "never been more hopeful about America.
... We're not as divided as our politics suggest. We remain more than a
collection of blue states and red states."
In his speech, he offered clues to the policy goals of his second
term, which included a deficit reduction plan that combines tax
increases with spending cuts, a comprehensive overhaul of the nation's
federal immigration laws and tax reform. He called on Republicans to
join him in achieving those goals.The battle for the White House between Obama and Romney divided the nation, causing, at times, bitter disputes between the parties. Obama urged his supporters to look beyond the fight of the past several months and defended the process of choosing a president.
"I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly," Obama said. "And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics who tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of evils or the domain of special interests. If you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out to our rallies and along the rope lines of high school gyms, or saw folks working late at campaign office or some tiny county a long way from home, you'll discover something else."
Romney conceded in Boston in a speech around 1 a.m. ET. "Like so many
of you, Paul [Ryan] and I have left everything on the field. We have
given our all to this campaign," Romney said. "I so wish that I had been
able to fulfill your hopes to lead your country in another direction.
But the nation chose another leader." Romney congratulated the president
and his campaign on their victory.
The Obama victory marks an end to a years-long campaign that saw historic advertisement spending levels, countless rallies and speeches, and three much-watched debates.
The Romney campaign cast the election as a referendum on Obama's economic policies, frequently comparing him to former President Jimmy Carter and asking voters the Reagan-esque question of whether they are better off than they were four years ago. But the Obama campaign pushed back, blanketing key states such as Ohio early on with ads painting him as a multimillionaire more concerned with profits than people. The Obama campaign also aggressively attacked Romney on reproductive rights issues, tying Romney to a handful of Republican candidates who made controversial comments about rape and abortion.
