What Is the Biggest Issue for You in the 2012 Presidential Election?

Now that we are in the final stretch with two fairly certain choices, what will be key in deciding how you cast your ballot in November?

We now, most likely, know what our choices are in November. On one hand, we have incumbent President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. Challenging them, we have the Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan ticket as potential presidential and vice presidential alternatives.

But the one thing that can't be argued is it is two clearly different choices. While many of the issues are going to be debated in a public forum, a vote is a very personal matter.

Newt Gingrich Brings Campaign, Herman Cain to South Forsyth

Jobs, energy independence message strikes chord with Georgia Republicans on Saturday morning.

Herman Cain was Newt Gingrich's "opening act" at a political rally in south Forsyth County this morning, Feb. 18. The former GOP presidential candidate said he's trying to convince Gingrich to adopt his "9-9-9" plan, but said Newt's own tax plan is the closest to his ideas. Gingrich for his part said no matter what the "lamestream" media says, it's still anybody's race for the Republican nomination, citing his own and Rick Santorum's successes against Mitt Romney. The former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives brought his daughter, Jackie Cushman, grandson, Robert, granddaughter, Maggie, and a friend of hers to the stage at South Forsyth High.
