CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama congratulated Republican rival Mitt Romney on Tuesday for running a hard-fought race for the White House and expressed confidence he would win re-election during a stop at a local campaign office to thank volunteers on Tuesday.
"I ... want to say to Governor Romney congratulations on a spirited campaign. I know that his supporters are just as engaged and just as enthusiastic and working just as hard today," Obama said as volunteers made phone calls encouraging supporters to get to the polls.
"We feel confident we've got the votes to win, but it's going to depend ultimately on whether those votes turn out. And so I would encourage everybody on all sides just to make sure that you exercise this precious right that we have that people fought so hard for us to have."
Obama made calls to volunteers from the campaign office to thank them for working for his re-election.
"I expect that we'll have a good night, but no matter what happens, I just want to say how much I appreciate everybody who supported me, everybody who's worked so hard on my behalf."
Opinion polls show Obama and Romney in a virtual dead heat, although the Democratic incumbent has a slight advantage in several vital swing states that could give him the 270 electoral votes needed to win the state-by-state contest.

I don't understand these people why do they always try to compare the uneducated, barbarous people like Hun Sen, and all his gangsters with American people of the United States? Comparing The US which is the most powerful nation on earth with a little land not sure it is real nation of just a little land for sale?
Come on, this low class Hun Sen cannot even compare with American (either black or white, it does not matter) who sleep on NY subway,
Obama is confident.
Hun Shit sen is cowardice!
OBAMA = មេឃ

Ah Hun Sen is a beggar. turning the country away, kicking off the people to live as slaves and fisherman, kicking the villagers in favour of the youn and chen.
AH Hun Sen makes more money turning the country into a beggar nation, then calls its development.
How can Hun Sen congratulate Sam Rainsy? because Sam Rainsy is a convicted criminal whereas, Hun Sen is the Prime Minister. There is no PM in this world ever ring to congratulate a convicted criminal at all.
Pi Anh.
1:24 PM
Convicted criminal by who? Hun Sen's own court of Hanoi? It has never heard in any civilized country to convict people who defend their own territory? Only Yuon would say so, and you are Yuon or Yuon's slave.
How can barbarous people such as Hun Sen and yourself know how to be civilized people when you signed your name "Pi Anh?"
A low class type like you and Hun Sen don't know what is to be civilized people.
By the way Hun Sen is not the real Prime Minister, but a thug who works for Yuon.
Of course, why would Hun Sen congratulate all of the stinky mouth idiots?
Vietnamese/Yuon Dog Eater Pi Anh @1:24 PM - When are you going to free the innocent dogs that your stole and capture to make yourself so wealthy to sell dog meat illegally from Cambodia to your Dumb Yuon/Vietnamese Dog Eaters in the criminal Vietnam?
