And The Results Are In...

Even though the presidency was already decided Tuesday night, Florida now has nearly 100 percent of their votes in.  The Los Angeles Times and NY Times both reported that the official results of Florida's ballots were in.  A little over 70-thousand votes was the margin between President Obama and opponent Mitt Romney, with Obama being the winner in this state.  The LA Times also reported that Obama's win in Florida came as no surprise.  In the NY Times they reported that one of the main problems for the official results taking so long was the long waits in line.  Many voters waited as long as seven hours to cast their votes.  Ken Detzner, secretary of state, told CNN Friday, “We could have done better; we will do better."  

The Washington Post reported today about life for Mitt Romney after his presidential loss.  Romney reminisced about his six-year journey on his campaign road and everything up until election night at a brunch early Friday morning.  L.E. Simmons, an oil investor from his national finance committee said that Romney did everything from the heart.  "He was analytical, no notes, spoke from the heart and was very appreciative.”  Even though Romney did not win the presidency he does not plan for this defeat to stop him.
