If all goes the way it usually did in many previous US elections, the world should know before the end of the day whether Barack Obama got reelected as president, or that America has a new president in Mitt Romney.And that is not only because of the swiftness of the results but, more appropriately, due to the quickness with which the losing candidate acknowledges defeat and concedes.

We will soon know the outcome of the US presidential elections, with President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney pushing in the final hours of the 17-month campaign marathon estimated to have cost almost $6 billion. Surveys showed Obama maintaining a very slight lead over Romney (1-3 points), with Frankenstorm Sandy most likely boosting Obama’s cause with majority saying they like the way the US president handled the disaster.
