How Do You Win the Presidential Election?

Contrary to popular belief winning the election isn't about winning votes in every state, no it all relies on the swing states. There are states that will just vote Republican and states that will just vote Democrat. States that will most likely vote republican no matter what are Texas and Alabama, states that till only vote Democrat are New York and California.

The states that really matter are the states that don't always vote Republican or Democrat, these states are known as Swing states. These states are where the real battle is done, all of the heavy campaigning is done in these states. Some swing states are Iowa, Colorado, the two big swing states are Florida and Ohio. These Swing States usually decide who will become the next president. Ohio being the hardest hit state for campaigning because of the importance of winning the Ohio vote. But sometimes this campaigning can get out of hand, there were reports of sometimes 22 minutes of camping ads within a 1 hour program.

So in the end the presidential election comes down to the few states whose votes are not always for one party, but other states are starting to become swing states during this process.
