Checking on the 2012 presidential race. The latest available information shows that President Obama is either faring well for re-election ... or still has a fight on his hands.

We now know exactly what our choices are in November. Incumbent President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden challenged by Republican hopefuls Mitt Romney and running mate, Paul Ryan. Until Election Day in November, we will be bombarded with information—some true, many slightly skewed and some outright lies. That's always been the case. While many of the issues are going to be debated in a public forum, a vote is a very personal matter. It usually comes down to how things impact the voter directly and not necessarily a big issue that might get a lot of discussion.

Cain said the "untrue allegations and false accusations" had hurt his family and caused too much of a distraction to the country at such an important time. He said, however, that he was reverting to Plan B, which is to continue to be a voice for the people. "Becoming president was Plan A, now we are going to Plan B," Cain told a crowd of supporters in his hometown of Atlanta, Saturday.
