Forty-eight days before Election Day, U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver said the tight race between President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney is perhaps the most crucial presidential contest since the Jim Crow era.

Mitt Romney got busted – and he knows it.

Fresh from his rousing fire-up-the-troops address at the Democratic National Convention, President Barack Obama will crisscross the country this weekend, traveling to New Hampshire and Iowa before boarding a campaign bus to roll through Florida as the nation’s most recognizable salesman.
