Election Day 2012

It's Election Day in the United States and citizens all over the country are heading to their polling place to cast their ballot.  With long lines and determined voters, this amazing country is exercising their right to vote.  Although precincts and states may have a certain race that is capturing the attention of their people, the entire country is looking toward the national election to see who will be the next President of the United States.  Do we re-elect President Obama or appoint a new leader, Mitt Romney?  At the end of the day, we may or may not know who our next president will be, but if you cast your ballot today your voice was heard. 

 

President Obama was able to vote early in his hometown of Chicago last month and today he stays in this magnificent city and reaches out to the swing states via radio and television interviews.  Meanwhile Mitt Romney cast his ballot in Bedford, Mass this morning and then will head to Ohio and Pennsylvania for some last minute campaigning.  When all is said and done, the candidates will end up at their chosen destinations to watch the results trickle in as the polls close.  Obama will be holding his election night festivities in Chicago, and Romney will be holding his celebration in Boston.  With these two cities being in the limelight tonight, it is no surprise that both locations are overflowing with media, supporters and campaign volunteers.  Take a look at what both Chicago and Boston have to offer and you can decide if the candidate and the town are both winners.

Boston, Massachusetts

Boston is a historic city and no doubt this election brings a feeling of exuberance and quite possibly a feeling of nostalgia to its people.  Because Boston is a patriotic locale with a past steeped in this country's creation, the people of the metro and surrounding areas have a sense of pride and duty.  Travel here and be ready to visit landmarks that you read about in your days studying American history in school.  Stroll through the same city streets that were once occupied by some of the country's greatest leaders, or visit the famous bar where "everybody knows your name."  The food is amazing,  the people are friendly and the hotels are luxurious.  Book a room in one of the Best Hotels in Boston and get ready to experience true sophistication.  Head to Boston and see the pride and honor the city exhibits all year round.
