US Election: Mitt Romney takes Idaho
Republican candidate Mitt Romney has won the State of Idaho boosting his electoral college vote by 12, bringing it to 190. However it now looks almost impossible for him to win the election over all. A Republican state through and through, Idaho has a history of individualism and the pioneer spirit having been settled by […]
