TYLER (KYTX) - Now President Obama and Mitt Romney begin a two month stretch of intense campaigning in the presidential race.
So now what do the candidates each need to say or do to win over voters on November 6th?
As President Obama made his case for another four years, American voters listened, their ears open to what he and Republican Mitt Romney have to say in the race for the White House.
Aston Oravetz, the Smith County Republican Chair says Romney hits the target right on.
"Have to keep telling people, this has got to change. Mathematically, it can't continue," says Oravetz.
He believes voters want to hear most about the economy, and how it can be changed for the better.
Romney says he can do that.
But Democrats say Obama is on the right path.
"We have a horribly raised unemployment, but the fact that he did contain the crisis and we are moving forward is testimony that he's doing the right thing," says David Henderson, the Smith County Democratic Chairman.
Henderson says Obama can point to the auto industry bailout as a big accomplishment as well.
Both agree the candidates have to address social issues and health care, and both believe positivity and consistency will be key for voters.
"Mitt Romney, nothing he says will surprise me because he's been all over the map on issues," says Henderson.
"He's running a negative campaign because he can't stand on much. Hasn't done much and what he's done is wrong as far as the economy," says Oravetz.
Leaving undecided voters looking for a little more explanation.
Polls show the race is tight right now with Obama and Romney virtually neck and neck.
Obama and Romney are both expected to campaign in New Hampshire tomorrow.
