SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - Monday, both President Obama and Mitt Romney spent the day crisscrossing the country and each other.

Obama supporters lined up early in Ohio for his event Monday.

This is a key state for both men and one in which the president holds a narrow lead in most polls.

But the president got an early start in Wisconsin telling the crowd,

"After all we've been through together; we can't give up now because we've got more change to do."

The president got some vocal support in several states from Bruce Springsteen,
who joked about his friend's singing,

"I think he has musical aspirations myself. That's one of the reasons I need him to be in the White House for the next four years. I don't need the competition."

But Mitt Romney got some help too, from running mate Paul Ryan in Nevada.

Ryan told the crowd there that the president was,

“…trying to win this race by distracting people, by dividing people to win by default, and we are simply not going to let him get away with it, are we?"

Finally, there is Mitt Romney, the man about 70 percent of Utah is expected to vote for.

Not only did he campaign in several states Monday, he will even do so in two states on Election Day.

Monday, Romney told supporters,

"This is much more than our moment. It's America's moment of renewal and purpose and optimism. And we've journeyed far and wide in this great campaign for America's future. And now we're almost home."

Tuesday, I will be doing an election blog starting at 9:00am and continuing throughout the evening.

Once again, the next US presidential election will be fixed. Mitt Romney will be elected even though Barack Obama would have received more votes in the presidential election. The political assassination will be perpetrated by Bush hiding behind Crossroads GPS, the most influential group of Neocons. The Neocons will have Mitt Romney elected to first use him and then let him fall easy prey. All blames and responsibilities will fall on the new Mormon president for the events already planned. The new World War of Religion is already a done deal behind the backs of all people to bring chaos and poverty and to favor in the end one New World Order Many will remain skeptical in regard to the existence of this Plan in spite of what is in front of their eyes. These people would probably like to see proofs as letters, videotapes or confessions on Live TV. Instead one should connect all the acquired certainties from the past events to recognize the clear Direction already well defined by this Plot. All these circumstances should be more than enough evidence for all those who have eyes to see. ...................

Paul Ryan (does that guy have a vested interest?) says that Mr. Romney will  make a great President. I agree- Romney WILL indeed be a very great President - -for the super-rich. But at least Hurricane Sandy has done of us all a favor- by causing us to focus on Romney's skewed thinking: Consider Romney’s advice for storm & disaster survivors: "Don’t be a victim, and stop looking for handouts!" And.... ask your parents for help! Heck, Romney will dismantle FEMA and the EPA  (= more $$$ for his people/corporations). Leave it to the states, he says.  Yeah, sure. The damage from Katrina was FOUR times Louisiana’a state budget! Maybe Romney will make us dams.... out of? his used Etch-A-Sketches? What we need is a tidal wave.......of voters.....  to sweep these kind of guys out of power. THAT is the BEST way to help the victims of present and future Sandys. ...AND ....the best way to help yourself, and your family. Obama does not dismiss 47% of America like Romney. Obama says: This is not a Republican America.  This is not a Democratic America. This is the UNITED States of America. p.s. This is not mere rhetoric. For in many ways, Mitt Romney's opposition to federal disaster relief programs is what the election is all about.  President Barack Obama supports using government to help those in a crisis get back on their feet.  Mitt Romney believes that government  has no role in helping people who are dealing with disaster.  Those two very different views of America's future are on the ballot next week.  Your choice.    Choose well.    Choose as if your life depended on it.  Because some day.....it just might. We know from Mitt's values (or lack of them) that he's not a Christian. But heck, he's not even a Mormon. Come on Mitt, let’s be honest:  YOUR REAL GODS ARE MONEY AND GREED. And your saints are those who have the most money ..... those who want to BUY this ELECTION - and this COUNTRY      ......and FORGET the rest of us.
