“The election of 2012 is significant because it is an executive presidential election as well as a major congressional election. The United States will hold an election on November 6th, 2012 to determine the office of the President of the United States as well as 435 individuals of the U.S. House of Representatives and  33 of the 100 U.S. Senators. What will be determined in this election is how the House and Senate fall into place in relation to the President of the United States.

“The questions that many political pundits are posing for the 2012 election are: Will President Obama retain his office and does he have enough influence to take the U.S. House of Representatives away from the Republicans and give the Democrats a majority in the House?  Or will President Obama maintain his seat and keep a Republican majority in the House but lose the Senate majority thereby causing more gridlock in government?  Or will Romney become the new President and will he keep the House majority and gain a Senate majority, which would allow the Republican party to dictate all terms for the country for the following four years?

“The current structure of the two parties in the United States has created a polarizing effect on the government, which unfortunately does not appear to be slowing down. As this election heats up, the two major political parties are – no surprise here – on opposite sides of the spectrum as far as how the government budget should be spent, as well as other issues facing the United States. The power to neutralize this unfortunate situation will be in the hands of the American voters this fall as they become the ultimate tie breaking authority and determine how they want the United States government to ‘look’ for the next two plus years.

“How the American public decides to vote appears to be based partly on how much money is being spent by whom in this election cycle.” Click here to be connected to ElectionCountdown.us.
