In this section Addis Standard’s correspondent Tomas Mega from Las Vegas, Nevada, will be following the 2012 Presidential election in the United States of America.

Rosen commented that Ms. Romney had “actually never worked a day in her life.” Ms. Romney eagerly countered that it was an “early birthday present for someone to be critical of her as a mother.”
