Send Obama goodwill messages:

The penultimate moment for the US presidential elections is here.  Incumbent President Barack Obama, whose father was a Kenyan is seeking re-election for another four years.

But Obama faces stiff opposition from Republican candidate Mitt Romney as both push hard to lock up support in critical battlegrounds of Ohio and Wisconsin.

Huffington Post reported that Republicans are hoping to retake majority control of the Senate, while Democrats are aiming to make a dent in Republican control of the House.

Media reports show Obama has slim lead in the swing states. The Huffington Post overview puts Obama as controlling 277 of the electoral votes and Romney at 206.  The winner needs to secure at lest 270 to win the presidency.
