Charlotte, N.C. – President Obama took the podium Thursday night to accept the Democratic nomination for another term in office.
The address sets the stage officially for the general election battle, which will play out at a furious pace over the next two months in battleground state campaign swings, national debates and the rapid-fire volley of political ads funded by the campaigns and the well-funded groups like super PACs supporting them.
Neither campaign is taking a breather after back-to-back conventions. The Obama and Romney teams are charging out of the nomination ceremonies on Friday with dueling events in the small swing state of New Hampshire. Obama and Biden are set to campaign in Portsmouth, while Mitt Romney campaigns in Nashua.
Regardless of any "bump" either candidate might enjoy out of the conventions, the election is expected to be close and hard-fought. The match-up has been airtight for months, with polls showing many voters disappointed by the state of the economy but unsure whether to back Romney as the alternative.
