Battleground States: Republican Challenger Mitt Romney

Obama Dept: Obama leads in many of the nine battleground states that will decide the election, and all but two of those states have early voting, meaning more people are already locking in their votes every day. The most important of those states, Ohio, started early voting Tuesday, according to Montreal Gazette. Romney contends his top issue is strengthening the U.S. economy and creating jobs, issues that are most important among voters. But the former Massachusetts governor is also attacking Obama on foreign policy after Muslim anger over an amateur anti-Islam film made in the U.S. sparked violent attacks on U.S. diplomatic missions and wASHINGTON - Republican challenger Mitt Romney prepared in seclusion Tuesday for his first debate against President Barack Obama, badly needing a stellar performance Wednesday to turn the tide of polling five weeks before the Nov. 6 election. Neither candidate had public events Tuesday as they studied for a debate that will focus largely on the economy and other domestic issues. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
