Obama Wins Re-election With Romney Defeated in Key States

Barack Obama, the post-partisan candidate of hope four years ago who became the first black U.S. president, won re-election by overcoming four years of economic discontent with a mix of political populism and electoral math.
“Tonight, in this election, you, the American people reminded us that, while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back,” Obama said in his victory speech in Chicago. “We know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come.”
Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney, winning at least 303 electoral votes in yesterday’s election with 270 needed for the victory. With one state -- Florida -- yet to be decided, Romney had 206 electoral votes.
The president faces a partisan divide in Congress, with Republicans retaining their House majority while Democrats kept control of the Senate, and a looming fiscal crisis of automatic spending cuts and tax increases set to begin next year unless a compromise is reached.
Romney Remarks
“This is a time for great challenges for America, and I pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation,” Romney said in a concession speech in Boston, where he had watched returns with family and friends. He called Obama to concede and offer congratulations shortly before his remarks.
“At a time like this, we can’t risk partisan bickering,” Romney, 65, said in a speech that lasted less than five minutes. “We have given our all to this campaign.”
Obama, 51, said he looks forward to sitting down with Romney to discuss ways they can work together to move the country forward.
“We may have battled fiercely, but it’s only because we love this country deeply, and we care so strongly about its future,” Obama said in his victory speech to a crowd that roared its approval.
Obama won the battleground states of Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Nevada and Colorado. He also carried Pennsylvania, where Romney made an 11th-hour bid for support to try to derail the president’s drive for re-election. North Carolina was the only battleground Romney won.
Votes were still being tallied in Florida, with Obama in the lead for its 29 electoral votes as the state remained too close to call.
Campaign Message
Beginning more than a year ago, Obama and his advisers cast the president as a champion of middle-class opportunity pitted against an opposition party more determined to protect preferences for the wealthy.
“I want you to know that this wasn’t fate, and it wasn’t an accident. You made this happen,” Obama said in an e-mail to supporters after television network projections late last night put him past the 270 threshold. “I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support.”
Obama said the victory is the “clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests.”
States the president won included Michigan, where Romney’s father served as governor and where the president benefited from his support of the government’s bailout of the auto industry. Obama also easily carried Massachusetts, Romney’s home state where he served a term as governor.
With Obama’s win in Wisconsin, the home state of Romney running mate Paul Ryan, it was the first time since 1972 that both members of a presidential ticket lost in their home states.
Defining Romney
Throughout a volatile Republican nominating contest, Obama’s political team never wavered from the view that its eventual opponent would be Romney, a former private equity executive whom they would portray as an out-of-touch embodiment of moneyed privilege and heartless capitalism.
Even before the Republican primary contest ended, as the public was still forming impressions of Romney, Obama and his allies began a campaign to define their opponent.
By summer, they inundated battleground states with commercials featuring layoffs at companies purchased by Romney’s former firm, Bain Capital LLC, as well as his Swiss banks accounts and tax returns showing how he took advantage of breaks not available to most middle-income taxpayers.
Romney didn’t counter with his own aggressive effort to establish an identity with voters as he focused his campaign on turning the election into a referendum on persistent high joblessness. The unemployment rate under Obama exceeded 8 percent for 43 months, the longest period of such high joblessness since the start of monthly records in 1948.
Negative Ads
The negative tone of the campaign on both sides was reflected in their advertising. Between April, when Romney clinched his primary victory, and Oct. 28, nearly nine in 10 of all campaign ads -- 87 percent -- were negative, according to New York based Kantar Media’s CMAG.
Obama started the campaign with an advantage on the electoral map. The ethnic composition of eligible voters shifted in his favor in many critical states since his 2008 election.
The portion of adult citizens who are members of racial or ethnic minority groups grew by four percentage points in Nevada, three points in Virginia, two in Florida and by one point in Ohio and Iowa between 2008 and 2011, according to an analysis of Census data by William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution in Washington.
Obama’s team took advantage by organizing to motivate supporters in the remaining states considered electoral battlegrounds. In some cases, Obama’s campaign never disbanded its 2008 efforts and early in the 2012 contest it built more field offices and hired professional staff.
New Voters
By Election Day, the Obama team claimed to have registered 1.8 million new voters in the battleground states, almost double the number of new voters the campaign registered four years earlier. By last weekend, 28 percent of those new voters had cast ballots through early voting, the campaign said.
“Don’t wait” to vote, Obama urged a mostly black crowd of 13,500 voters packed into Cincinnati’s Fifth Third Arena on Nov. 4. “Who do you trust?” the president asked the crowd, which shouted back “You!” Saying he knows what “real change” is, Obama added: “I delivered it; I’ve got the scars to prove it.”
The geography of the economic recovery also favored the president in the eight swing states that received the most attention from the two campaigns: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Ohio, Nevada, New Hampshire, Virginia and Wisconsin.
In five of those states, joblessness was lower than the national average by September, the most recent month for which state-level unemployment data is available.
Pivotal Ohio
In Ohio, a state won by every Republican who has ever won the White House, unemployment dropped to 7 percent by September. The Obama campaign promoted the comeback of the auto industry, which was boosted by a government bailout the president backed. One in eight Ohio jobs is directly or indirectly tied to the auto industry, according to a 2010 report by the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
While Romney took a trip to Europe in July designed in part to heighten his profile on the foreign stage, $1.2 million worth of ads attacking him played 1,947 times on Ohio TV stations.
The Obama campaign hammered relentlessly at Romney’s opposition to the federal bailout, memorialized in a November 2008 New York Times opinion article the Republican candidate authored entitled “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.”
Immigration Issue
A tough stance on illegal immigration that Romney took in the Republican primaries also contributed to lopsided support for Obama among Latino voters.
As the national economy improved during the election year, it weakened the central theme of Romney’s campaign. A slowdown in job growth in the last spring and early summer kept Romney close; hiring accelerated again as the election approached.
The 7.9 percent October unemployment rate was a full percentage point lower than a year earlier, the biggest 12-month improvement in joblessness over the period during any election year since 1948 except President Ronald Reagan’s 1984 re- election, when unemployment dropped 1.4 percentage points.
The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index surged from 61.3 in August to 72.2 in October, showing consumers in the most optimistic mood since February 2008. Through Nov. 5, the benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index was up more than 12 percent for the year and more than 66 percent since Obama took office in January, 2009.

U.S. Stocks Advance as Boehner Vows to Work With Obama

U.S. stocks rose, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rebounding from its biggest drop in five weeks, as House Speaker John Boehner said he expects to keep working on a budget plan with President Barack Obama.
NYSE Euronext rose a record 34 percent as IntercontinentalExchange Inc. (ICE) agreed to buy the company for $8.2 billion. Accenture Plc (ACN) slid 2 percent after revenue from technology consulting fell 3.6 percent from a year earlier. Merck & Co. slipped 3.4 percent after saying it won’t seek U.S. marketing approval for a cholesterol drug. Financial stocks rose the most in the S&P 500, leading gains in all 10 groups.
The S&P 500 climbed 0.6 percent to close at 1,443.69 today. The equity benchmark yesterday slipped from its highest level since Oct. 18 as a White House spokesman said Obama would veto a proposal presented by Boehner. The Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 59.75 points, or 0.5 percent, to 13,311.72.
“The market continues to be driven by the state of the fiscal-cliff negotiations,” said Peter Jankovskis, who helps oversee $3 billion of assets as co-chief investment officer at Lisle, Illinois-based Oakbrook Investments LLC. He spoke in a telephone interview. “That’s what people are keeping an eye on and that’s what is causing the swings in the market.”
Growth, Budget
Stocks also advanced after third-quarter economic growth was revised higher. The 3.1 percent growth in gross domestic product exceeded the highest projection in a Bloomberg survey and compared with a previously estimated 2.7 percent gain, according to Commerce Department figures. The median estimate of economists called for a 2.8 percent advance.
Republicans in Congress will vote today on Boehner’s plan to raise taxes on incomes over $1 million. The proposal is aimed at preventing more than $600 billion of automatic tax increases and spending cuts from coming into effect next year.
Boehner accused Obama of being unwilling to stand up to fellow Democrats in the fight over how to avert spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to begin in January.
“I did my part; they’ve done nothing,” Boehner, an Ohio Republican, told reporters in Washington. “I’m convinced that the president is unwilling to stand up to his own party.”
Still, the speaker said “I remain hopeful” a deal can be reached.
The number of Americans filing first-time claims for unemployment insurance payments rose for the first time in five weeks, a sign further improvement in the labor market depends on faster economic growth, Labor Department figures showed today.
Annual Gain
The S&P 500 has gained 15 percent this year, its largest annual rally since 2009. The benchmark measure has risen 1.9 percent this month.
Other reports today signaled expansion in the world’s largest economy. Sales of previously owned homes rose more than forecast in November to reach a three-year high as lower borrowing costs sustained the U.S. housing rebound, the National Association of Realtors reported today in Washington.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s general economic index increased to 8.1 in December from minus 10.7 a month earlier. A reading of zero is the dividing line between expansion and contraction in the area covering eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware.
NYSE Euronext (NYX) surged 34 percent to $32.25 after IntercontinentalExchange, the 12-year-old energy and commodity futures exchange, agreed to acquire the company for cash and stock worth $8.2 billion, moving to take control of the world’s biggest equities market. ICE added 1.4 percent to $130.10, while an S&P index of financial stocks gained 1.4 percent.
Deal Premium
ICE, based in Atlanta, will pay $33.12 a share for the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, 38 percent above yesterday’s closing price, according to a statement today. Last year, the U.S. Justice Department blocked a joint hostile bid by ICE and Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. for the New York-based company on concern the combination would dominate U.S. stock listings.
Accenture, the world’s second-largest technology consultancy, slid 2 percent to $69.02. Sales from advising clients, its biggest source of revenue, declined to $3.96 billion, the company said late yesterday. Customers have opted for contracts over longer periods that don’t generate revenue as quickly, a trend that will continue into the second quarter, Chief Financial Officer Pamela Craig said.
Merck lost 3.4 percent to $42.16 for the biggest retreat in the Dow. The company won’t seek U.S. marketing approval for its good cholesterol drug Tredaptive after a key study showed it ineffective and potentially harmful.
Gaming Stocks
Video-game makers and retailers fell amid growing pressure from Washington and advocacy groups concerned about possible links between violent games and tragedies like the school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut. A bill introduced yesterday by U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller directs the National Academy of Sciences to examine whether violent games and programs lead children to act aggressively, the West Virginia Democrat said in a statement.
Electronic Arts Inc. (EA), publisher of “Medal of Honor,” fell 3.2 percent to $13.94. Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (TTWO), the maker of “Grand Theft Auto,” fell 2.4 percent to $11.69. GameStop Corp. (GME), the video-game chain, slid 5.2 percent to $26.13.
Carnival Corp. (CCL) slumped 5.3 percent to $36.99. The world’s biggest cruise-line operator provided a full-year earnings forecast that fell short of analysts’ forecasts. The company said earnings will rise to as much as $2.40 a share next year, excluding some items. Analysts predicted $2.46 a share, the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Illumina Jumps
Illumina Inc. (ILMN) jumped 7.8 percent to $56.22 after Swiss newspaper L’Agefi said Roche Holding AG may buy the U.S. genetic-sequencing company for $66 a share, a higher price than its first bid in April. The newspaper said it failed to verify the source of the information.
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (BBBY) lost 6.5 percent to $56.36. The operator of more than 1,400 home-furnishing stores projected full-year profit that trailed analysts’ estimates. Profit will be $4.48 to $4.54 a share this year, the retailer said yesterday. Analysts projected $4.62 a share, the average of 25 estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Rite Aid Corp. (RAD) soared 16 percent to $1.21. The third- largest U.S. drugstore chain gained the most in more than three years after forecasting better full-year results and returning to a profit in the third quarter.
Amicus Therapeutics Inc. (FOLD) slumped 47 percent to $3.06 after saying a drug it was developing with GlaxoSmithKline Plc failed to perform better than a placebo.
CarMax Inc. (KMX) jumped 9 percent to $37.97. The largest U.S. seller of used cars rose to a record as increased vehicle sales drove quarterly profit that beat analysts’ estimates.
