Mitt Romney is a businessman turned politician. He is known for his ability to make a failing company profitable.
Barack Obama won 28 states: WA, OR, CA, NV, NM, CO, MN, IA, MO, IL, WI, MI, IN, OH, PA, NY, VT, NH, MA, RI, CT, NJ, DE, MD, DC, VA, NC, FL, and H.
He also received 1 electoral vote from Nebraska.
The official 2012 presidential platform of the Republican Party calls for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage and nullify all existing same-sex marriages in all of the United States. This amendment has already been defeated in Congress. Presumably, Romney would sign it into law if it passes. Remember, though, that when he was governor of Massachusetts, he signed that state's marriage equality bill into law. Similarly, he says he wants to get rid of "Obamacare", but he also signed a similar bill into law in Massachusetts. The bottom line is that Romney, if president, probably would not be able to eliminate same-sex marriage.

You receive $400,000 annual salary. You and your family receive Secret Service protection for 10 years after leaving office. There is a pension and health care as well. Many of the "Benefits" of being a president have to do with fame, influence and the ability to channel donations. Most ex presidents speak widely and receive speakers fees.
The benefit and responsibilities of the actual job have to do with being in control of executive power in the United States. The Constitution of the United States actually describes a weak executive that takes his/her directives from the congress in the form of laws. Exception to this is the executive branch's power to negotiate with other countries on behalf of the United States. In a time of war, the president also becomes head of the military.
In the twentieth century, we've seen an expansion of presidential power. Some of this is brought on by the speed of our daily lives. FDR greatly expanded the offices under the executive branch both during the New Deal and in response to WWII. Much of the fiscal regulatory agencies we now see as being a liability to GW Bush were created or enhanced at this time. The largest single federal agency behind the military, The Department of Transportation, blossomed into what we have today because of the need to have people work during the depression and road and bridge building is a labor intensive enterprise.
So the actual defined benefits of being president are actually small, but the position is one defined largely by the times and by the person sitting in the chair.
By convex lens, rays fallen would be definitely converged hence named as converging lens. If rays fall parallel to the principal axis after refraction they would be converged at a point known to be the principal focus of the lens. If rays go in diverging state as the source is in between its F and O, optic centre then they would appear to come from the same side and so we get a virtual enlarged image. This is what a palmologist does with a lens to read the lines on the palm. Optic centre is the point on the lens through which as rays pass then it goes unrefracted or undeviated.

The answer to this question varies according to where you live.
In New York City, for example, you do not need any identification whatsoever to vote, however, they will check you signature against the signature on file in the voting registration records.
Usually the results are accurately broadcast at 10, 11, 12pm on Nov 4th, but considering how large and close this election is, I expect it to be a long process. I'll bet it will be Nov 5th before we hear any solid predictions and probably a month because of the inevitable lawsuits before we hear the official ruling.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's middle name is Mitt (his first name is Willard). The Mitt is for Milton Romney, his father's cousin and a former quarterback for the Chicago Bears.
Their jobs are certainly not to defend America againts it's enemies. Their allegance is to the book of joseph smith. Mitt Romney talks about war but our sons and daughters will have to fight it.
In the 2012 election, Mitt Romney did not get enough votes to win. President Obama received 62,611,250 votes (and 332 electoral votes); Mitt Romney received 59,134,475 votes (and 206 electoral votes). Mr. Obama was thus re-elected.
Obama believes that all children should have access to medicine and education. So he is planing to take on a helth plan similar to Canada's. He plans to pay for these programs by ending President Bush's temporary tax cuts for "the rich." Obama believes that people earning under $250,000 per year need tax relief more than "the rich" need economic help. That way more people are given the health care they need.
In states that hold Republican Party primaries, Mitt Romney won a total of 10,031,336 votes in favour of his candidacy, representing 52.1% of the popular vote. This is a lead of 6,108,267 (31.7%) votes over his nearest rival, Rick Santorum.
