Let the Games Begin
The commentary on the state of the 2012 presidential election must continue. Today has been a deciding factor, with the suspension of former Senator Rick Santorum’s campaign. Despite the low chances of a Romney-Santorum ticket, we will be sure to see Team Romney use the senator in areas where he has a hard time connecting, including hardcore conservatives and small-town America. This will set the stage nicely for 2016 for Santorum to make an aggressive comeback for the presidency.
But today also solidifies what many politicos have been saying all along: this race is between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Both men are Harvard educated and distinguished in their own right.
From the beginning of this election cycle, I have remained convinced that President Barack Obama will win his reelection. My sentiments still remain the same. I am convinced, though, that Mitt Romney is gearing up for one heck of a fight. Between extreme Super PACs and other conservative activist groups aiming their spending power at the President, a battle is sure to ensue.
Quite simply, Mitt Romney is a recycled flip-flopper of a politician. He tries to convince the American public that he stands for something, but based upon his record we have no clear sense of where he always stands. There is only one stance that we can be totally sure of: anti-Obama.
Being anti-Obama will not be enough to win this election. This election, furthermore, is so much more important than just one man, such as the President.
I admire our President, but I will admit he has some work to do in the upcoming months to convince some of our fellow citizens that he deserves four more years. Most importantly, he needs to develop a clear, cohesive message going forward, otherwise, he is going to face a huge PR problem. Maybe that is where this President has strayed. For a man who in 2008 was able to deliver unbelievable orations, he has had a difficult time using that same energy and message-driven style to his White House.
The race continues, and we shall continue to monitor it. Until next time!

This is so very true. Everyone has a story that needs to be heard, but not everyone has someone who will listen. This is one easy way we can make the world a better place. Find someone who needs you and just listen. It could mean the world.

Governor Chris Christie has proposed merging Rutgers-Camden with Rowan University. As a proud Rutgers-Camden student, I stand by my campus and my Rutger’s family. People say that South Jersey needs a research university. It already has one — Rutgers Camden.

Just John. Not Jonathon.
I talk to myself all the time.
...And I answer myself, too.
Maybe here I can talk to myself, and still appear somewhat sane? Maybe.
Probably not, though.
