US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney holds a rally with his wife Ann at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, on November 5, 2012. After a grueling 18-month battle, the final US campaign day arrived for President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney, two men on a collision course for the world's top job.
