The Presidential Election
The Presidential Elections
Republican Democrat
Are you republican or democrat? Do you like President Obama or Governor Romney? Can you not decide? The reason I'm asking you is that Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are both running for President.
President Obama is running on the democratic ticket and trying to be re-elected into office, while Mitt Romney is running on the republican ticket and trying to be elected for the first time. Mitt Romney is the Governor of Massachusetts, but if he wins the elections he will resign and become president with his partner for Vice-President Paul Ryan. President Obama's partner and Vice-President is Joe Biden.The Vice-Presidents had their debate on Tuesday October, 11th and the Presidents had their 2 elections on October 2nd and October 16th. In order to win the candidates have to get the most public votes and electoral votes. Public votes are the citizen's votes. Electoral votes are votes that come from a state. To get electoral votes you have to win a state. To win a state the candidate with over 50% of the public votes on that state gets the electoral votes from that state. To determine how many electoral votes there are per state you add up the amount of Representatives and Senators the state has, together. That gives you the amount of electoral votes for that state. Here is a map of how many electoral votes each state has for the 2012 elections.

SAY A BIG GOOD BYE TO BIG DRINKS
HEY NEW YORKERS, SAD OR HAPPY NEWS...
New York is banning 16 oz. soft drinks sold at stores, restaurants, food carts, food stands at sporting events, and even theaters.They are doing this because most (two-thirds) of the U.S. are obese. The law also applies to sweetened teas, but not fruit juice, alcohol, or dairy drinks such as milk shakes.
You may think that all of this is bad news but think about it: 40% of the kids in elamentary or middle school in New York City are overweight.
