The 2012 Election

WB:
Welcome to Election Night 2012! I'm Wolf Blitzer, and joining me tonight is Anderson Cooper. Anderson, how do the odds look for the candidates tonight?

AC: Well, Wolf, I think that this election is definitely going to be a close one. On the Democratic side, we have incumbent President Barack Obama. The President has faced a tough reelection challenge from Secretary Hillary Clinton, as well as a a failed raid on Osama Bin Laden's complex in Pakistan. This, combined with a failure to live up to many of his campaign promises has made him a easy target. On the Republican side is Representative Ron Paul. He suprised many with a win in both the Iowa and New Hampshire contests this year, leading to his eventual victory. However, many in the Republican establishment have failed to support him.

WB: I agree Anderson. President Obama is seen as an easy target for the Republican side, but the selection of Representative Paul combined with the Presidents charisma has made this election one of the closest in recent memory. Hold on, it seems that we are getting our first poll closings in Kentucky and Indiana...
