200 days to go before the election

Candidates for president, House and Senate have 200 days left to make their case before voters cast their ballots in November. - The Hill

Jobs and the economy continue to dominate the agenda as both candidates present their ideas to voters. Speaking at a shuttered drywall factory on Thursday in Lorain, Ohio, Romney said he expected Obama to continue to attack his record as a successful businessman.

"You will see him attack success day in and day out. And one thing you know is if you attack success, you're going to have less of it,” Romney said. “This is a president who is more intent on punishing people than getting people back to work.”

In the Senate, Democrats are working feverishly to keep from losing more than three seats, which would hand control of the upper chamber to Republicans (if Obama is reelected).
