Kent Picked Obama in Landslide
Take a look at the tallies for each precinct in Kent — did your section of town vote Republican or Democrat?
It's likely no surprise to many Kent residents that the Tree City voted overwhelmingly to re-elect President Barack Obama in Tuesday's election.
The incumbent Democrat received a heavy majority of total votes cast by Kent voters for the two major-party candidates, both himself and Republican Mitt Romney, according to complete but unofficial results from the Portage County Board of Elections.
A total 10,003 votes were cast by Kent voters for the Republican and Democratic candidates.
Of those, Obama received 7,345, or about 73 percent. While Romney received 2,685, or about 27 percent, according to the board of elections.
Every single voting precinct in Kent — all 21 — voted in favor of Obama.
The vote aligns with campaign contributions to both candidates by Kent voters, who overwhelmingly gave more money to support Obama's campaign than Romney's.
Take a look at the individual precinct vote totals for president below.

Polls in the wake of Obama's 2008 victory indicated that given the severity of the economic crisis voters were willing to give him a second term to deal with it. The polls were correct and people have maintained that assessment in the face of the storm of negative attacks unleashed against Obama. Despite the lower turnout compared with 2008, which should have helped the opposition, he still clearly prevailed. Very impressive. Romney is an equally capable figure but he had to abandon former positions and take up extreme views to unify his party. If both sides move toward the center in the name of solving problems Obama's reelection might be restorative. The stock market is telling the politicians to "fix it." Obamacare has flaws but he at least took on the health care industry which will now be pressured by everyone to deliver a better product in relation to the 18% hit levied on the economy. I admire the man and I think we are very fortunate to have him in office for many reasons.

"Despite the lower turnout compared with 2008, which should have helped the opposition, he still clearly prevailed. "
Just an update, but voting in 8 or the 9 swing states [including Ohio] was up...and down in the rest of the country.

The market has doubled since President Obama took office. Perhaps the recent drop is a result of the poor investment big business made in the GOP.

Stock Market Crash ? What a bunch of bull.....this is not anything unusual
Many Market Pros will enjoy a buying opportunity, others would have dumped stock
Before the election, buying the same stock back next week at a reduced price.
Many Neophites would dump stock now......we plan on that.

If thats the case why is it going down at a record rate for 3 days in a row after What we did. Its been going down at a steady rate for 4 years now. But again hope your right but doubt it.

Mr. Market is roughly 50% overvalued by long-term valuation trend and the S&P price is close to a technical upper limit. A correction here would not be surprising, even welcomed to value investors like myself. I'd love to buy more BRK.B at 1.1 P/B !

Brad if your a investor you know its been going down at a steady rate for 4 years now. The Democrates talk about a correction in the market. Wrong again. And this was not what the democrates said when bush was in Office was it.

Obama would like nothing than too create another financial crisis, blame it on someone else and then instate more government control.

Romney would like nothing better than to return the the policies of Hoover.
