Ukugubungela okubukhoma njengoko uMitt Romney ekhankasela eNevada kunye noBarack Obama esenza ityala lakhe eVirginia.
23.00 (18.00) Iidemokhrasi ziyayincoma le vidiyo ngovuyo UPaul Ryan ukufumana booed kwindibano AARP eNew Orleans. Ngobulungisa kuye, kuvakala ngathi abanye kwisihlwele babhomboloza xa wayethetha ngokurhoxisa i-Obamacare kodwa abanye bavuya.
22.55 (17.55) Harry Reid uye wakhupha ingxelo blustering emva Romney iinkcukacha zerhafu ukukhululwa. Kodwa kuwo onke amazwi akhe anomsindo, akaphindi isityholo sakhe sokuba uRomney wahamba ishumi leminyaka ngaphandle kokuhlawula irhafu. Ungalindeli uxolo nangaliphi na ixesha kungekudala kodwa ubonakala ebuya umva:
Ulwazi olukhutshwe namhlanje ludiza ukuba uMitt Romney wasebenzisa enye yeminyaka emibini kuphela yembuyekezo yerhafu abone kufanelekile ukuba ayibonise abantu baseMelika - kwaye emva koko 'ukuhambelana' neengxelo zakhe zoluntu. Lo nto iphakamisa umbuzo: yeyiphi enye kwezo mbuyekezo uRomney athe wayenza ngobuqhophololo? Sele sisazi ukuba uRomney unemali kwiindawo zerhafu eSwitzerland, eBermuda nakwiCayman Islands. Into esingayaziyo kukuba kutheni esala ukuthetha ngqo nabantu baseMelika malunga nokukhetha akwenzileyo kubomi bakhe bezemali. Abantu baseMelika baya kuzibona nini iimbuyekezo awayezifakile ngaphambi kokuba angenele umongameli?
22.20 (17.20) ka-Ann Romney Inqwelomoya iye yanyanzeleka ukuba ihlale kaxakeka eColorado emva kokugcwala umsi. Akukho mntu wonzakeleyo kwaye uAnn wathetha noMitt ngoko nangoko emva kokuhla.
21.10 (16.10) Ileta kagqirha olungileyo ibangela isiphithiphithi kunye nesihlwele seTwitter emva kwemini yangoLwesihlanu.
20.30 (15.30) Iphulo likaRomney likhuphe neleta evela kugqirha wakhe, Randall Gas waseMassachusetts General Hospital, esithi wanelisekile uRomney usempilweni entle kwaye uyakwazi ukuba ngumongameli. Isiqendu esipheleleyo sale leta ingezantsi kodwa nazi ezinye zeembalasane:
-“Uzikhwebula ngokupheleleyo ekuseleni utywala, kwaye akasebenzisi naziphi na iimveliso zecuba okanye iziyobisi ezingekho mthethweni.”
-Uyalelwa kwi-penicillin kwaye uthatha idosi ephantsi yemihla ngemihla ye-aspirin.
-Unesantya sentliziyo kwi-40s, izinga eliphantsi elibangelwa yimikhwa yakhe yokuzivocavoca.
- "Ubonakala emncinci kuneminyaka yakhe ... Uyindoda eyomeleleyo eyinyamekela kakuhle impilo yakhe ... Akukho zithintelo zomzimba ezinokuthi ziphazamise umsebenzi wakhe wezopolitiko onzima kunye nomnqweno wokuba nguMongameli olandelayo waseUnited States."
20.20 (15.20) uJohn McCain uye wakhupha ingxelo ethi “lixesha lokubuyela ekuxoxeni ngemiba abavoti abayikhathaleleyo” kwaye ngoku uRomney unike abavoti “ujongo oluneenkcukacha ezimangalisayo kwezezimali zakhe”. Asiyonyaniso engqongqo leyo: ngelixa enokuba ukhuphe ngaphezulu kwe-1,200 amaphepha eerhafu zerhafu, iseyiqhezu leenkcukacha ezinikwe ngabaviwa bangaphambili.
Isigqibo sokukhupha isishwankathelo sePWC seminyaka engama-20 edlulileyo, ngaphandle kweembuyekezo ngokwazo, singumnqa. U-Romney ubuya umva ekunyanzeliseni kwakhe kwangaphambili ukuba uya kukhulula iminyaka emibini kuphela kwaye sekunjalo uyenzile ngendlela ecacileyo yokuba abantu bahlehliswe kumbuzo wokuqala: yintoni ayifihlayo?
19.20 (14.20) Romney sele eza kukhulula irhafu yakhe ekudala ilindelwe ngo-2011, iyahlekisa ukuba ezi zinto zihlala zisenzeka njani ngolwesiHlanu emva kwemini. Le yimifanekiso ephambili, ngokwephulo:
-I-Romneys ifumene i-13.7 yezigidi zeedola, ngokuyininzi ngotyalo-mali, kwaye ihlawulwe intlawulo yerhafu esebenzayo ye-14.1 yeepesenti, iphakamileyo kancinane kune-2010.
-Banikele ngeedola ezi-4 zeerandi okanye phantse isahlulo sesithathu sengeniso yabo kwi-charity. Ngokweli phulo, banciphise isaphulelo seminikelo yabo yesisa kuba oko bekuya kulinyusa izinga labo lerhafu.
Kodwa eyona nto inika umdla yileta ekhaphayo evela IxabisoWaterhouseCoopers, i-accounting firm, eqinisekisa ngokufanelekileyo imbuyekezo yerhafu ka-Romney kule minyaka ingama-20 phakathi ko-1990 no-2009. U-Romney uyala ukuzikhulula ngokwakhe kodwa uthi i-PWC izijongile kwaye inokuqinisekisa oku kulandelayo:
-Ngokuchasene namabango kaHarry Reid, uRomney wahlawula zombini irhafu yengeniso yelizwe kunye neye-federal kunyaka ngamnye.
-Umlinganiselo oqhelekileyo werhafu ye-federal yayiyi-20.2 yeepesenti kwaye iphantsi kakhulu eyake yafika yayiyi-13.7 ekhulwini.
Kubonakala ngathi sinokufikelela kwizigqibo ezibini koku:
1) Amabango kaHarry Reid malunga neRomney ehamba iminyaka elishumi ngaphandle kokuhlawula irhafu ibonakala ingenasiseko, njengoko abaninzi berhanela.
2) Akukho nto eyothusayo ngokukodwa malunga nerhafu yerhafu kaRomney - ebonakala ibonisa ukuba kukho enye into, mhlawumbi kwi-investment yakhe okanye impahla yakhe, angafuni ukuba abantu bayibone.
18.20 (13.20) Obama ugqibile ukuthetha no AARP, indawo yokwamkela abadla umhlala-phantsi eMelika kunye nelinye lawona maqela anenzala anamandla kweli lizwe. Wasebenzisa ixesha lakhe (ebonakala ngesathelayithi evela eVirginia) ukuba alale kwizicwangciso zikaRomney zabantu abadala.
Andiyithatheli ngqalelo le ndlela yokuba nesibindi okanye inkalipho, ndicinga ukuba luluvo olubi. Akukho mntu waseMelika kufuneka achithe iminyaka yakhe yegolide kwinceba yeenkampani zeinshurensi. Bafanele bathathe umhlala-phantsi ngenkathalo nangesidima abasifumeneyo.
UPaul Ryan waye kwinkomfa eNew Orleans ngokobuqu njengenxalenye yomzamo wokuqinisekisa abantu abadala ukuba ngokuchaseneyo neentengiso zokuhlaselwa kweDemokhrasi akafuni ngokwenene ukutshabalalisa iMedicare. Wabhala inqaku loxolelwaniso, etyhola omabini amacala ngale ngxaki.
Ulungile ukuba nexhala lokuba iminyaka yezithembiso ezingenanto zamaqela omabini ezopolitiko isongela ukhuseleko lweminyaka yakho yegolide. Kwaye ulungile ukufuna iimpendulo ezinyanisekileyo kwabo bacela ivoti yakho. UMitt Romney kunye nam sabelana ngeenkxalabo zakho. Kwaye siyakuhlonipha ngokwaneleyo ukuya kwinqanaba nawe. Siyabahlonipha bonke abantu beli lizwe ngokwaneleyo ukuba bathethe ngokhetho olucacileyo esijongene nalo kwi-Medicare, uKhuseleko lweNtlalo, uqoqosho, kunye nohlobo lwelizwe abantwana bethu abaya kulidla ilifa.
17.35 (12.25) Elizabeth Warren, unjingalwazi waseHarvard othandekayo waseKhohlo, kunye Scott Brown, iRiphabhlikhi ephakathi, idibene phezolo kwingxoxo yabo yokuqala njengoko besilwela ukulawula UTed Kennedy owayesakuba Massachusetts Senate isihlalo.
Akukho thando olulahlekileyo phakathi kwezi zibini kwaye uBrown ngokukhawuleza wazisa ingxabano ejikeleze iWarren Umhlalii wasemelika ilifa (nangona ngobulungisa, imodareyitha yalushiya ucango luvulekile kuye). Unjingalwazi udweliswe eHarvard njengelungu labasebenzi bomthonyama waseMelika nangona enesambuku selifa lemveli leCherokee.

Uninzi lwababhubhileyo kukholeleka ukuba babulewe ngamapolisa ngethuba bedubula ngeembumbulu kubaqhankqalazi.
16.25 (11.25) U-Obama uphulukene nomvoti obalulekileyo.
16.20 (11.20) Mitt Romney ube phantsi kokugxekwa ngokutsha ngephulo lakhe lokuthintitha kwicala lakhe namhlanje. Peggy Noonan, owayesakuba ngumbhali wentetho kaReagan wajika iWall Street Journal, umbhali wemihlathi wabiza iphulo likaRomney “njengentlekele ehamba phambili”. Ecaphula imemo yomcebisi wezopolitiko, wabhala:
"I-pendulum iguqukele ku-Obama." UMitt Romney "unomntu owonakeleyo wezopolitiko." Ubaleka ngasemva kumazwe aphambili njengeOhio kunye neVirginia kwaye, ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba elingaphantsi, eFlorida. Umongameli ubuyisela umva ukwehla okuqale ngokuthi “Awuyakhanga loo nto”. Iiveki ezintathu sele ekwi-roll. Umoya usemva kwakhe.
Ukhathazekile ngokuvakalayo Ann Romney uye kunomathotholo ukutyhala ngasemva ngokuchasene ne-sniping evela eKunene:
Yiyeke. Oku kunzima. Uyafuna ukuyizama? Ngena eringini. Oku kunzima kwaye, uyazi, yinto ebalulekileyo esiyenzayo ngoku kwaye lunyulo olubalulekileyo kwaye lixesha lokuba bonke abantu baseMelika baqonde ukuba lubaluleke kangakanani olu lonyulo kwaye sinethamsanqa kangakanani ukuba nomntu oneziqinisekiso zikaMitt kwaye amava kunye nolwazi lokukwazi ukuba nethuba lokulawula eli lizwe.
16.05 (11.05) Ukuvela kwi Univision izolo, u-Obama uthe ufunde kwikota yakhe yokuqala ukuba "awunakutshintsha iWashington ukusuka ngaphakathi". Wayejonge amagqabantshintshi njengomboniso wamandla abantu - olo tshintsho lukhulu luza kuphela xa abantu baseMelika befaka uxinzelelo eWashington - kodwa kwatolikwa ngokubanzi njengokuvuma ukuba usilele kuthumo lwakhe lwethemba kunye notshintsho.
16.00 (11.00) Molo kusasa kwaye wamkelekile kwi-inshorensi yethu ephilayo njengoko Mitt Romney amaphulo e Nevada kunye UBarack Obama wenza ityala lakhe eVirginia.
