The presidential election is currently in a good state. There are some areas that could use some improvements. One improvement that I would suggest is to have the process to get on the ballots be more similar or even be one nation-wide ballot that all 50 states would use instead of having to invest so much time and money into each and every state. This would make it easier, and cheaper, for all and could encourage more people to run for president. Secondly, I would hope for some improvements by adding a third party. This would create more options for the citizens to vote for. This would create more competition between the three parties and more competition normally creates better quality. This would then create better candidates for presidents and then help the United States even more. Finally, I would like to see a mandatory exit poll in place. This would allow for the candidates to see who favors them and who they need to attract the attention of. With this they could either change their policies to slightly attract the groups that they need to attract in order to get more views. This would also go along the lines of creating more competition and then still create better candidates. It would also be more interesting, from my point of view, to watch candidates sort of "duke it out" for certain demographics. With these changes, the presidential election would improve by the means of entertainment value, allowing more people to run, and creating better candidates.

Romney's Political Advisor
As Romney's political advisor i would focus heavily on the 30-44 age range, and suburban living citizens. These are two categories that are always divided and could be huge categories to win for the Republicans. With those wins they could push themselves into the oval office. Focusing the majority of the campaign on these two groups would be wise. Offering events, such as parties or question and answer sessions, in order to persuade these voters and get them to vote Republican
They would only have to focus a small amount of the campaign on whites, religious people (besides the jewish community), and the 60+ age group because those groups normally always heavily vote Republican so they are practically shoe ins as long as they see some advertising. Driving people from nursing homes or churches to the polling areas could help greatly secure these groups.
It would be smart to put a little bit of campaigning into heavily Democratic groups to hopefully sway part of those groups back towards evenly split or even to the Republican side. First-Time voters, 18-29 age groups because those are mainly Democratic groups that could easily be partly persuaded. Going to colleges and talking to college students would really effect the votes and potentially persuade them.
Following these plans, the Republicans and Romney could gain crucial voters and find his way into the oval office. This is a very reasonable plan and could very easily be accomplished with the funding given to the party. These gestures are simple but would go a long way in helping swing the votes to the Republican side.
