Updated 4:08 p.m. ET - STERLING, VA -- Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's campaign announced Monday afternoon that the candidate would add two campaign stops on Election Day in Ohio and Pennsylvania.
A campaign official said Romney would make stops in Cleveland and Pittsburgh, part of what the GOP nominee's campaign called an effort to "keep working until the polls close."
Pollsters divide the state of Ohio into five regions: coal country, northeastern Ohio, the auto belt, the Columbus area and the Cincinnati region. Currently, Obama is doing well in the north and has also made inroads in coal country – but the real area to watch is the auto belt where Romney will return to campaign Tuesday. NBC's Chuck Todd reports.
Romney campaign advisers have eyed Pennsylvania in recent weeks as a backstop against losing other battleground states, especially as Obama has managed to maintain a mostly consistent if slight advantage over Romney in Ohio. Pennsylvania lacks a robust early voting effort and the vast majority of ballots are cast on election day. Romney's campaign and outside groups supporting it have poured money into television advertising there in recent weeks.
Pittsburgh has advantage of bleeding over into the Ohio media markets, too.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney waves to supporters after finishing his speech at a campaign event at the Lynchburg Regional Airport, Monday, Nov. 5, 2012.
In Cleveland, Romney will visit his campaign's victory office, according to a Republican operative familiar with the campaign's plans.
Romney will travel to the two Midwestern battlegrounds after voting in Belmont, Massachusetts on Tuesday morning.
On Monday, Romney barnstormed across four swing states, with rallies in Florida, Virginia, Ohio and New Hampshire. The New Hampshire midnight rally in in Manchester had been billed as the campaign's finale.
Jen Psaki, the traveling campaign spokeswoman for President Barack Obama, suggested the stop was a sign of weakness.

"I will say it's no surprise that Mitt Romney is headed to Ohio, or reportedly headed to Ohio tomorrow," she told reporters in a gaggle aboard Air Force One. "Without that state it's a rocky road to victory -- an insurmountable road I would say."
Romney campaign advisers say the candidate himself decided on Monday to add the last minute stops, preferring to motivate volunteers and supporters by showing them that he was working just as hard as they are in the final hours, to sitting at home and waiting for results to come in.

or Peter Panders Pantry........
ON Election Day !!! We've heard it all already and Election Day was supposed to be the day the BS STOPPED but you're still going to be at it??? Give us a break... literally !
Shows what a hard working, sincere President Mitt Romney would be.
I've posted this so many times that the right wing nuts must know it by heart now, but there is goes:
"He who does not WANT to think, is a fanatic."
"He who CANNOT think, is an idiot."
"He who does not DARE to think, is a coward."
Francis Bacon, 1561-1626
Who would have thought that an Irishman, born in 1561, would describe the GOP/TP crowd with such finesse and accuracy? The man was a visionary!
No doubt.....why am I craving bacon now...???
Good one!
For any who haven't heard the news, and for others who doubt the veracity of the story revealing Citizen Romney's "charitable soul" vis-a-vis his use of a CRUT to skim money from his own "charitable donation" to his church, here's the citation to the business organization that broke the story.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-29/romney-avoids-taxes-via-loophole-cutting-mormon-donations.html
Character counts in a president.
How can anyone, let alone a nation, trust Citizen Romney when he steals from his own church via a trust, under the guise of being a "compassionate conservative"?
Romney/Ryan: None and Done.
This
iswas the type of crud that floated to the top of the Republican cesspool.I miss Sarah Palin already!
Romney can't hold rallies tomorrow. He is merely meeting with the Gov of OH and the immoral secy of state Husted to discuss the situation of the voting. Same for PA. Immoral people. Should never, ever be in public service.
Checking the machines for the fix from his son? Down to last resorts.
I'm still amazed the Salt Lake City Tribune endorsed Obama,saying Willard couldn't be trusted..The bastion of Mormonism ....Go figure....
Obama is the one that took 720 billion out of medicare to pay for Obama care ! Obamacare cost so much it will bankrupt this nation! We are already bankrupt ?Obama trippled the deficit.. ya know its sad that dems and repubs cant work together that obama is so devisive.. we are going to become Greece if this guy get re-elected.. what prez lies to us about Benghazi ? What prez would sit in a church that spews such hate for 20 years? What prez friended Marxists/commies throughout life ? Appointed communists (Van Jones, Anita Dunn) What prez says Vote for Revenge ..Sad most of you guys support this man!
$720 worth of doctor and hospital abuse. You guys can't even keep the lies straight.
Bye bye. Hate to say but see you in 2016 vs. Hillary Clinton. Get ready for another butt whoppin!
Just playin' the oldies, huh? Nostalgia makes you have to say them for the last time.
Just saw 4 Mittens/Liar smear ads in a row while watching Wheel-of-Fortune in Pittsburgh. Serious desperation! They even brought Pat Boone out of his coffin. Very pathetic.
The early vote will favor Obama, until the republicans get-off-work!!!
You mean get home from the country club. Quit shining their shoes.
Bugmetoo: Do some investigating, their are more republicans on food stamps, SSI and welfare then democrats. So get that gold spoon out of your A$$ and investigate.
O&Joe 2012
It ain't going to bankrupt the country Ditto Head, any more than the Cheney Bush prescription drug program.Estimated to cost $450M....In reality the Cheney Bush plan may cost $1.2Trillon
Medicare Drug Benefit May Cost $1.2 Trillion (washingtonpost.com)
Dont forget Ohio and Pennsylvania when you vote. When GM was going to go out of business losing thousands of jobs in Mich, Ohio, Pa. Indiana, Romney said let them go bankrupt and vulture investors like Romney will pick the bones. He did make another fortune in a hedge fund from the govt saving Delphi. Would you buy a car from this guy?? Really?
The best campaign video

Let's see......I can have the Obama economic plan like that of Bill Clinton ("grown from the middle class"), OR,
I can have the Romney/Bush "trickle down their leg" plan.
Decisions, decisions.......hmmmm. I hate being so undecided when things seem simple.
Under Clinton....JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, RECORD SURPLUS, EVERYBODY PROSPERS. Life was pretty good, but...
Under the "W" Bush administration....2 wars, massive job loss, wall st. runs amuk, huge debt, all while the ULTRA RICH PROSPER on the backs of the middle class. Nothing to brag about, but.......
hmmmmmm, i can't vote for the economic policies of Obama/Clinton even though they seem to help the 'little guy'. You see, Obama is a Muslim, a Kenyan, un-american, not like us, and he's "black". He hasn't fixed (fast enough) the worst economic DISASTER since the great depression.
Yeah, "W" Bush left behind a little mess....but, you've got to expect tough times over his 8 year term. That's a long time!!! At least he didn't promise us a 'rose garden' like Obama.
Furthermore, I hate Clinton. He got a BJ, cheated on his wife, and then lied about it. That's immoral!!! Yeah, i've cheated on my wife too but, unlike clinton, at least i didn't do it in the White House. That scum bag!!! Besides.....I've gone to Church since my lies and affairs just like a good Republican. I've been cleansed and hate sinners.
I think this Romoney guy can be trusted after the election. No doubt, he is the worlds biggest flip-flopper...and YES, Flip-Floppers generally make TERRIBLE LEADERS, but at least he was HONEST when he said he was the candidate of "real change". He's PROVEN himself in that regard. Being a good Christian (now), I can overlook credibility issues and inconsistency because change is good!!!
I want to be a millionaire and voting for the guy "libturds" (I just learned that word) call Romnesia is my best chance of being wealthy. He promised he didn't mean any harm toward the 47% of LOSERS and will look out for EVERYBODY. I'll take my chances with a Mormon over the guy who helped kill our men in Labia.
Speaking of women, my wife says Romoney has really nice hair and thinks I should vote for him.....so, off I go to the polls tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll decide by then!!!
Youdontknowyourdaddy: You are a real YAHOO. You must be a 1%er, to vote for the only guy who will take care of ONLY you, himself and his 1%er buddies. You are a real IDIOT!!!!
O&Joe 2012
Watch out for the GOP trying to steal the Election, don't let anyone bully you when you go to Vote !!!
Haha! A Dem talking about bullying voters. Must be they forgot about 2008. You just can't make this stuff up!! Almost feel sorry for them.
If Romney's message is so great, why is the GOP suppressing votes and rigging voting machines
The very fact that Obama wont address the Libya,Benghazi cover-up, and by his own words saying there's no need to talk about it before the election (like that is an answer) is proof that he is dirty,And his followers don't even want to know the truth of a set-up,murder and cover-up of a ambassador that dared to disagree with him and his policy's
The official story surrounding the events of September 11, 2012 in Benghazi, Libya which left four Americans dead, has now officially fallen apart.
After numerous flips and flops by the Obama administration, which originally attempted to paint the incident as a Muslim outcry over an anti-Islamic video, whistle blowers throughout the U.S. government, including within the White House, the State Department, national intelligence agencies and the U.S.military have made available stunning details that suggest not only did operational commanders have live visual and audio communications from drones overhead and intelligence assets on the ground, but that some commanders within the military were prepared to go-it-alone after being told to "stand down."
Africom commanding officer U.S. General Carter Ham, after being ordered to essentially surrender control of the situation to alleged Al Queda terrorists and let Americans on the ground die, made the unilateral decision to ignore orders from the Secretary of Defense and activated special operations teams at his disposal for immediate deployment to the area.(if the general had not intervened' there would be 34 dead Americans and not just 4---And now Obama has the U.S. General Arrested for Activating Special Forces Teams; Ignoring Libya Stand-Down Order. (Obama does not like the real light to be shined on him,HuH!)
Liar Romney after your two stops tomorrow, just keep on going to your hidden bank accounts in the Caymans and wherever else you have them, take your emotionless wife with you too. We don't ever want to see your lieing face again. GOODBYE...While your at it, take the other Liar with you Eddie Munster Ryan
O&Joe 2012 ****Liar Romney 1040**** Draft Dodger where are those damn tax returns you crook?????
One last plea, to all Conservative Christians that have not voted yet, and unless you’re a devoted Ayn Rand Disciple, and believe in her philosophies, Wakeup, and come to your senses! You are being misled into voting against your better interests! Your Republican Party has been taken over by a bunch of Ayn Rand Disciples, and people like Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and most of the talking heads on the Right are devoted followers of hers. And, then there’s Paul Ryan, Romney’s running mate, and there’s Karl Rove, Grover Norquist, heck even Ronald Reagan was a follower’s of Ayn Rand’s philosophies. I could go on and on with names, but hopefully these will be enough to convince you to come to your senses. And, if you don’t want to take my word for it, it doesn’t take that long to google their names and find out.
Now, as for Romney, I’m not sure just what he really is, except that he is Mormon, and he’s a pathological liar besides being a borderline psychopath. Now, I know President Obama has caught nothing but flack from the Right, but in his defense that has been part of their strategy from the beginning of every Democrats Presidency. It’s just part of an ongoing plan they use after they get voted out of office, and most of you should recognize the following tactic the Right uses, because it’s been their strategy for decades now.
The first thing they do is, they endlessly insist that Government creates all of our problems.
Second is the self-fulfilling prophecy of bad government under Republican leadership, as the Bush recessions of 1991 and 2007, the Hurricane Katrina response, the Iraq catastrophe and the transfer of federal oversight powers to the industries being regulated all showed.
Third, when the backlash from the American people inevitably comes as it did in 1992 and 2008, attack the very legitimacy of the new Democratic president they elected.
Fourth, they turn to the filibuster and other obstructionist tactics in an attempt to block the Democratic agenda, inaction for which the incumbent majority will be blamed.
And, lastly they target the institutions and programs (Social Security, Medicare, the IRS) which form the underpinnings of progressive government.
Now, back to Ayn Rand, do you people have any idea of what Ayn Rand’s philosophies were? If not, her philosophies were centered around Objectivism. Whereas, selfishness is considered a virtue, and the world is made up of what she considered as Creators and Parasites. In other words, most of our citizenry is made-up of parasites, unless you happen to be in the prestigious 1 percent. Now, here is the real kicker for all of you Conservative Christians that have been misled and fooled. Objectivism, also considers all people of religious faith as nothing but FOOLS, and are incapable of reason. They lack the ability to reason for themselves, in a sane manner! Now, just stop and think, if they only think of you as FOOLS. Then that means that they don’t think much of you period, and so, how could they honestly have your best interests at heart? In other words, you are being used solely as pawns just to further their goals, and they really could care less about what happens to you in the long term. Another very interesting facet of Ayn Rand was, she was a rigid proponent of the right of women to have abortions! I’ll bet that very few of you knew that, but if you did, and continued to preach your Right to Life views, and all while you were supporting Ayn Rand’s philosophies, then you are nothing more than the true definition of a hypocrite!
Your Party has purposely destroyed our economy, and just to put themselves in the position to say, look, we warned all of you that Ayn Rand’s Novel Atlas Shrugged would come to pass, and low and behold it has, but in truth, only because of their intentional fiscal irresponsibilities of the past four decades, and malice intentions of making it happen! They want a two-class society in this country, and will stop at nothing to make that a reality! The Creators and the Parasites!
So, hopefully all of the Conservative Christian’s will finally wakeup, and realize that they’ve been made fools of, before it’s too late, so as, we all don’t become slaves to the prestigious 1 percent! A Plutocracy form of government is knocking on our door, if they don’t wakeup!
More reasons to vote for President Obama -- watch "Koch Brothers Exposed". You may be able to get it on your computer. We watched in on Netflix yesterday. It scares me to death. I pray that Obama wins.
As far as I'm concerned, voting for Romney is a vote for the devils themselves.
Another desperate Obama loser.
I'm in PA and have been bombarded with calls from Romney campaign begging for votes. Funny, but he forgot about PA until he decided he needed PA share of the 47% to win. Obama 2012!! Hopefuly Mitt and Ryan will then go back under the rock they slithered out from under on Nov 7!
That would be about the time he realized winning Ohio was a lost cause.
Wednesday will be a new dawning in America to have an EVIL DOER LEADER who was all about the utter UNFAIRNESS of windfall RICHES obtained under our anti-free-market regime of BUBBLE FINANCE, and so it's the RICH is getting RICHER and the POOR is getting POORER. ROMNEY has been fooling millions of American Voters for his untrue BUSINESS success, as he's goinb back to FOSIL Fuels gigantic business and READY for Military Action against his opposite Muslim Evil Doer of Iran! The first year of 2013 under ROMNEY, millions of American will be just like committed suicide to see the dissapointed result by this MORMONISM Leader just like the JOSEPH Smith's full of bloody confrontation in U.S. (1838-1844). Beware!!!
Hey Turds,
It's only 1 day till election and I hate to bust your Obama crack high but there is no good
news for the Liar in the WH.
EXCLUSIVE: CIA Operators Were Denied Requests For Help During Attack on Consulate
Great Job Romney. Keep up the good work
You have America's suppport.
Still today, Obama blaming Bush. FOUR YEARS LATER!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?
Yes Indeed. Bush's economic policies will take a decade to fix. His messed up foreign policies are almost fixed by President Obama. Don't worry though, President Obama will get the job done soon enough.
We have a MAN-CHILD living in the White House!!
GOP Thugs, reported today
An Allegheny County judge issued an order to halt electioneering outside a polling location in Homestead.
County officials received a complaint shortly before 10 a.m. Tuesday that Republicans outside a polling location on Maple Street in Homestead were stopping people outside the polls and asking for identification.
The order states: “Individuals outside the polls are prohibited from questioning, obstructing, interrogating or asking about any form of identification and/demanding any form of identification from any prospective voter.”
Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Guido A. DeAngelis, one of two judges overseeing Elections Court, issued the order and said such actions by partisans “could have a chilling effect” on voting.
Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey A. Manning, who also is overseeing the court this morning, said the only people permitted to ask for ID are the poll workers inside the voting locations.
THE PLASTIC MAN (FAKE) DEVIL DOER is on the loose with his IMMORAL and UNETHICAL REGIME BUDDIES the GOP. They are steeling democracy and freedom from every HARD WORKING and who wants to WORK CITIZEN. They are PATHETIC representations of a NATION that is BY the PEOPLE (CITIZENS) and FOR the PEOPLE(CITIZENS). I put CITIZENS because the REPUBLICANS in their DOCTRINES and COURTS managed to CHANGE the word PEOPLE to include BUSINESS and NON-VOTING entities as the voice of PEOPLE (CITIZENS). Reason why MONEY AND GREED is now wrapped into PEOPLE and how the real PEOPLE got their voice squeezed to near silence.
WAKE UP AMERICA AND THE CITIZENS PUSH BACK on these EVIL DOERS, before WE HAVE NO SAY AT ALL NEXT TIME, it is slowly happening and it must stop !!!!!
It is amazing how the RIGHT WING DING NUT CASES just continue to WHINE and CRY like children and have their HANDS HELD BY THE EVIL DOERS OF SHAME. LIKE SPOILED BRATS of SELF GREED !!!
what amazes me most are all of the "Conservative" middle class 47%ers that are going to vote for the president elite, Mr. Romney. These very same people that scream about entitlements that recieved unemployment if they were laid off, and if they needed as I know a few that did, food stamps and medicaid assistance.
I am just confussed how now they think they will be better off once Romney cuts taxes on the upper class, $5 Trillion, dedicates $2 Trillion more to defense, they think somehow they, meaning the 47% conservatives, will be better off.
Paul Ryans plan eliminates help for millions of Americans, women, children, college kids, families, elderly and yet a Boss in Chief is their idea of a good leader for the country!
If it's about jobs, Romney claims that simply by being elected 12 million jobs will be created and coincidentally Moody's predicts 12 million jobs will be created by 2016 despite Romney's claim
