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.
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.

"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."

"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."
