Oct 26th 2012, 20:51

More than just choosing the American leader, voters in the November 6 U.S. presidential election also will effectively be deciding what role they want the federal government to play in their lives. Either U.S. President Barack Obama, the Democratic incumbent, will be re-elected, or his Republican challenger, wealthy businessman Mitt Romney, will take over in January.   Aside from winning a political contest, however, the two candidates represent political parties that have grown ...

Paintballs Proposed to Deflect Asteroids
